Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Figure 1-5 illustrates a network in which the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
assigns traffic from WLAN 1 to VLAN 24, a VLAN reserved for wireless traffic.
In this network, the wireless station receives an IP address from the module’s
internal DHCP server, and the module routes the station’s traffic to servers in
the private, Ethernet network.

Forwarding Traffic Between the Wireless Network and the
Ethernet Network
In summary, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module follows this process to
forward traffic that is sent from wireless stations (via RP radios) into the
Ethernet network:
1. The module receives wireless traffic on its internal downlink port in a
Radio Port VLAN.
2. The module enforces any controls applied to the downlink port. Such
controls can include ACLs, either manual or user-based, and user-based
rate limits. (For more information about such controls, see “Controlling
Traffic with Policies” on page 1-34 and “ACLs” on page 1-38.)
