MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

When the SSID option is enabled, the VSC accepts incoming traffic that has its SSID set to the
WLAN name (SSID) defined under Virtual AP.
The Ethernet Switch option enables the VSC to be bound to the switch ports on an HP 517 or
MSM317. See the HP 517 802.11ac Unified Walljack Configuration Guide and the MSM317
Access Device Installation and Configuration Guide.
If a VSC is bound to an HP 517 or MSM317 switch port, it cannot handle traffic from wireless
clients on the HP 517/MSM317 or any other APs. The switch port must be bound to this VSC
by selecting Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports > [HP 517 or MSM317] >
[switch_port_name].
For more information, see “VSC data flow” (page 135) and “Traffic flow for wireless users”
(page 221).
VSC egress mapping
These options select the output interface on the controller on which an access-controlled VSC
forwards user traffic. Different egress mappings can be defined depending on whether the user is
unauthenticated, authenticated, or being intercepted. (To enable traffic interception for a specific
user, you must specify the appropriate setting in the users RADIUS account. See Colubris-Intercept.)
Before you can map traffic to an output interface, the interface must already be defined. For a
network profile to appear in this list, it must:
• Have a VLAN assigned to it (on the Controller >> Network > Network profiles page)
• Be mapped to a port (on the Controller >> Network > VLANs page)
• Be assigned an IP address (on the Controller >> Network > IP interfaces page)
When the Default option is selected, the controller routing table is used for all egress traffic.
Therefore, all traffic on this VSC is routed according to the routes defined on the Controller >>
Network > IP routes page.
For more information, see “VSC data flow” (page 135) and “Traffic flow for wireless users” (page 221).
NOTE: To set VSC egress options for controlled APs, see “Binding VSCs to groups” (page 163).
On the HP 517 or MSM317, VSCs can also be bound directly to the switch ports. See the HP 517
802.11ac Unified Walljack Configuration Guide and the MSM317 Access Device Installation
and Configuration Guide.
Bandwidth control
This option is only available if the Data rate limits option is enabled on the Controller >> Network
> Bandwidth control page. See “Bandwidth control” (page 51).
Select the bandwidth level to regulate traffic flow for all user traffic handled by this VSC. Bandwidth
levels are defined on the Controller >> Network > Bandwidth control page.
This default setting applies to all users that do not have a bandwidth level assigned in their account
(local or RADIUS). Local accounts are defined on the Users menu.
For more information on setting the appropriate RADIUS attributes to accomplish this, see
“Public/guest network access” (page 396) and “Working with RADIUS attributes” (page 435).
