Abstract

Aspects of the invention provide a system and method for communicating in a hybrid wired/wireless local area network. A method for communicating in a hybrid wired/wireless local area network may include sending a first messaging protocol message (AP_Stat.req) between a first switch (402) and a first access point (404). In response to the first messaging protocol message, receiving at least a second messaging protocol message (AP_Stat.data) from the first access point and/or the first switch. One or more of the first and second messaging protocol messages and/or a third messaging protocol message may be used to control one or more of the first switch, a second switch, a first access point, a second access point, and one or more access devices.
