About the default VSC
The default VSC is automatically created by the controller. It is identified with the label (Default)
in the VSC list. Initially, this VSC is named HP and has the following properties:
• Wireless network name: HP
• Use Controller for Authentication is enabled. (If you disable this option, the controller will not
provide user authentication services for 802.1X, WPA, WPA2, or MAC-based.)
• Use Controller for Access control is enabled. (If you disable this option, you disable the public
access interface and all users gain access to the protected network.)
• HTML-based authentication is enabled.
This means that when a user connects to the default VSC:
• Unauthenticated users cannot access the protected network, except for: procurve.com (for
product registration) and windowsupdate.com (for IE, which tries to get to a windows update
on a fresh start).
• Authenticated users can access all protected network resources.
Traffic from wired users is always handled by the default VSC as follows:
• When access control is disabled on the default VSC, traffic from wired users connected to the
controller LAN port is blocked.
• When access control is enabled on the default VSC, traffic from authenticated wired users
connected to the controller LAN port is sent on the egress mapping defined on the default
VSC. If HTML and 802.1X based authentication methods are disabled, traffic from all users
is sent on the egress mapping without the need for authentication.
Quality of service
The quality of service (QoS) setting (under Virtual AP in a VSC) provides a number of different
mechanisms to prioritize wireless traffic sent to wireless client stations. This is useful when the
controller handles wireless traffic from multiple devices (or multiple applications on a single device),
that have different data flow requirements.
