Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)

Configuring a WLAN

Necessary Configurations on the Wireless Services-Enabled

Switch

The VLAN for which the Wireless Edge Services xl Module tags WLAN traffic

is called an uplink VLAN. If you decide to have your Ethernet infrastructure

devices route traffic from the wireless stations, you must tag the module’s

uplink port for the stations’ VLAN. You make this configuration from the

wireless services-enabled switch. (See the Wireless Edge Services xl MOdule

Supplement to the ProCurve 6400cl/5300xl/3400cl Management and Config-

uration Guide.)

Alternatively, you can have the Wireless Edge Services xl Module route

wireless traffic and perform other necessary services for the wireless stations’

VLAN. In this case, no further configuration on the wireless services-enabled

switch is necessary.

Configuring Security Options

From the Network Setup > WLAN Setup > Edit screen, you can also configure

authentication and encryption options.

The security provided by a WLAN is one of its most important functions. All

RPs in a WLAN must use the same security options and, for some security

options, static keys. Therefore, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module, which

automatically deploys the same WLAN configuration to all adopted RPs,

simplifies establishing a WLAN throughout a wireless network. Remember,

however, that if your network includes more than one Wireless Edge Services

xl Module, you must configure exactly the same security options for identical

WLANs on different modules.

Configuring Authentication

For the best security, you should enable some form of authentication on every

WLAN. Authentication protects your network resources from unauthorized

access; it can also protect wireless stations from connecting to a rogue access

point (AP).

The Wireless Edge Services xl Module supports three types of authentication:

■ 802.1X Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)

■ Web authentication (Web-Auth)

■ Media Access Control (MAC) authentication
