HP 517 802.11ac Unified Walljack Configuration Guide v6.4.0

3 Configuring the switch ports

This chapter explains how to configure the switch ports using the management tool on a controller.

This section assumes that you are familiar with the operation of the MSM7xx management tool. If

not, see the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.

NOTE: Wired devices connected to the switch ports cannot communicate with wireless devices

connected to the same HP 517.

Important note regarding controller teaming

When working with a controller team, the selections that you make in the Network Tree are different

from selections on non-teamed controllers. The instructions in this guide are written for working

with non-teamed controllers. If you are working with a controller team, you need to adjust instructions

that refer to the Network Tree as follows: Instead of selecting Controller in the Network Tree, select

Team [team-name], where [team-name] is the name assigned to the team. For example, the

following menu-selection sequence on a non-teamed controller:

Controller > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports

becomes:

Team [team-name] > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports

on a controller team. See also, Controller Teaming in the MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide.

Switch ports page

This page lists all supported ports on the HP 517 switch, indicates if the ports are enabled, and

lists their VLAN number (if assigned). To define settings for a port, select the port name in the list.

This opens the Port configuration page described in the next section.

The Switch port page presents different options depending on how you open it.

• If you select Controller > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports > HP 517, you see

the following page:

• If you select Controller > Controlled APs > [group] >> Configuration > Switch ports, you see
