Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
The module then forwards the traffic to the wireless services-enabled switch
at Layer 2, and the same devices that route and control traffic from traditional
users can handle traffic from the wireless users. In this scenario, the module
may perform few or none of the Layer 3 functions listed in “Wireless Edge
Services xl Module Operations” on page 1-16.
Figure 1-6 shows how the Wireless Edge Services xl Module can forward
traffic into VLANs used on a wired network.

they inspire. You might use your wireless network to grant access to limited
services, such as only email and the Internet. You might open the wireless
network to guests and less trusted users.
