The network address is selected from a plurality of network addresses that can be assigned to any of a plurality of virtual networks. The system receives a request to authenticate the device, and then determines a virtual network on which to assign the device. The virtual network is selected from the plurality of virtual networks. The system identifies the device as authenticated based on the assigning of the network address and the virtual network.
