Introduction

ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module

For more instruction on configuring these settings, see Chapter 4: Wireless

Local Area Networks (WLANs) and Chapter 3: Radio Port Configuration.

WLAN Classification

WMM allows RPs to queue frames according to priority marking. Alternatively,

RPs can place all traffic that is destined to stations associated with a particular

WLAN in the same queue. The four queues are the same as the four access

categories (ACs) for WMM (Voice, Video, Best Effort, and Background), and

the RPs use the same parameters for transmitting traffic in those queues that

they would use for WMM. The only difference is that traffic is queued statically

according to WLAN instead of automatically according to priority marking.

Voice Prioritization

Voice prioritization improves QoS for traffic destined to VoWLAN devices.

When you enable this feature in a WLAN, RPs monitor frames received from

stations in that WLAN. When a voice frame is detected, the Wireless Edge

Services xl Module marks all traffic destined to the source of that frame for

priority handling.

Ethernet devices between the Wireless Edge Services xl Module and the RP

and the RP itself place return traffic to the VoWLAN device in a high-priority

queue. Thus, voice prioritization can improve QoS for voice traffic in both the

Ethernet and the wireless networks.

WFQ

The Wireless Edge Services xl Module queues traffic outbound to RPs accord-

ing to the RP and the WLAN to which it is destined. Each different WLAN on

each different RP has its own queue.

Management Capabilities and sFlow

You can manage the ProCurve Wireless Edge Service xl Module through either

a command line interface (CLI) or its intuitive Web browser interface. Access

to the Web browser interface is controlled through the highly secure Simple

Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMP v3).

You can also manage the Wireless Edge Services xl Module entirely through a

SNMP solution such as PCM Plus.
