Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module can read these attributes from an
external RADIUS server:
■ VLAN assignment
■ ACL
■ rate limit, which applies to ingress traffic (traffic from the wireless station
to the network)
Remember that the Wireless Edge Services xl Module can also act as a RADIUS
server. The module supports only dynamic VLAN assignments on its internal
RADIUS server.
Figure 1-12 shows how the user-based settings on the RADIUS server allow
the Wireless Edge Services xl Module to assign users who connect to the same
WLAN to different VLANs.

It does not matter how you actually configure these attributes on the RADIUS
server. However, ProCurve IDM greatly simplifies the configuration process.
Using ProCurve IDM, you create policies to control individual users’ network
access, depending on the time and location from which they connect. An IDM
agent automatically configures the correct attributes on the RADIUS server.

Driven Manager User’s Guide. You can download this guide from http://
