Designing Access Controls

Lay Out the Network

You should also verify that your wireless PEPs support your chosen access control and encryption methods. All ProCurve wireless devices support all encryption options, and the Wireless Edge Services Module supports all three access control methods. As you can see in Table 3-110,the AP 420 and AP 530 do not support Web-Auth, so this access control method must be implemented at the switch port.

N o t e

ProCurve Networking periodically updates the software on APs, Wireless Edge

 

Services Modules, and switches. Check the ProCurve Web site at http://

 

www.hp.com/rnd/products/wireless/index.htm to see if there is a newer ver-

 

sion of software, which delivers new capabilities for these wireless products.

 

 

Choose Switches. A Wireless Edge Services xl Module is installed in a Switch 5300xl, and a Wireless Edge Services zl Module in a Switch 5400zl or Switch 8200zl.
