Abstract
A method for redirecting a computing device from a first network to a second network is described. A plurality of network ports is monitored. A communication from a computing device is detected at one of the network ports. Information is sent to a first server and a second server regarding the identity of the computing device. A command is sent to the first server to send a request to the computing device to renew the connection with the second server. The computing device is redirected to a second network from a first network.
