ProCurve Secure Access 700wl Series Management and Configuration Guide 6-3
Configuring the Network
The System Components List shows the following information:
From this list you can click a component name or click the pencil icon at the right of the row to edit the
component’s name and the folder to which it is assigned. For Access Control Servers, you can also edit
settings related to its use in a failover configuration. See “Configuring an Access Control Server” on
page 6-3 for more information.
You can delete some components using the trash can icon to the right. Some components cannot be
deleted—in this case the trash can icon will be dimmed.
A more concise form of the System Components List, as shown in Figure 6-2, also appears on other
pages under the Network, VPN, and Maintenance functions.
Figure 6-2. System Components List (Concise Version)
This list appears in a tree form, with folders that can be opened or closed. The list enables you to select
a component to view or modify as appropriate to the page you are viewing.
Configuring an Access Control Server
The Access Control Server provides centralized administration for the 700wl Series system. A second
Access Control Server may be used to provide automatic failover in a redundant configuration (see
“Configuring Failover with Redundant Access Control Servers” on page 6-14 for more details).
The Access Control Server on which you are running the Administrative Interface already exists in the
System Components List. In a redundant configuration, you can connect to the Administrative Interface
on either the primary or secondary Access Control Server.
The header bar of the Administrative Interface indicates whether the Access Control Server you are
logged into is the only Access Control Server in the system, or is the primary or secondary Access
Control Server.
