Designing Access Controls

Lay Out the Network

The RPs require a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source but can connect to any location in the network. (PoE sends power over the same Ethernet cable on which data is transmitted.) To ensure that RPs are adopted by the module, you must either extend the Radio Port VLAN between the module and the RP or set up Layer 3 adoption. (See the ProCurve Access Control Implementation Guide.)

Although the AP 420 and AP 530 do not require PoE, they do support it as a convenience. (See Table 3-111for requirements.)
