Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Radio Port Adoption
Radio Port Adoption
By default, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module automatically adopts radio
ports (RPs) that it detects on the network. For more security, you can disable
automatic RP adoption and configure the module to adopt only those RPs for
which you manually enter the MAC address.
The module can adopt RPs that are in the Radio Port VLAN (Layer 2 adoption)
or in a different VLAN across a subnetwork boundary (Layer 3 adoption).
Figure 2-30 illustrates when to use each type of adoption. In either case, your
network must meet certain requirements in order for the module to detect
the RP.
