Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Management Interfaces
Management Interfaces
To configure and manage the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module, you
can use one of the following management interfaces:
■ Web browser interface—Accessed through a Web browser, this intui-
tive interface provides comprehensive information to help you manage
and monitor your company’s wireless services. The menus and online help
guide you through configuration steps.
■ Command line interface (CLI)—Available through a serial, Telnet, or
Secure Shell (SSH) session, the CLI provides a complete set of commands
to configure, manage, and troubleshoot your wireless services.
■ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications—
SNMP applications allow you to manage your company’s wireless services
in the context of other network services. By default, the Wireless Edge
Services xl Module supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3. As a result, you can use
SNMP applications such as ProCurve Manager (PCM) Plus and ProCurve
Mobility Manager (PMM) to manage your wireless services. (For more
information about PCM Plus and PMM, visit ProCurve Networking’s Web
site at http://www.procurve.com.)
Because the Web browser interface simplifies both management and config-
uration tasks, this guide focuses on using the Web browser interface.
The Web Browser Interface
To access the Web browser interface for the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services
xl Module, your workstation must be running the Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
which enables the Web browser to run Java applets. If your workstation is not
running the JVM and you attempt to open the module’s Web browser interface,
the workstation will automatically try to access the Internet and download
the JVM.
In addition to running JVM, the workstation that is running the Web browser
must be able to reach the Wireless Edge Services xl Module’s IP address.
