Management and Configuration Guide Wireless Edge Services xl Module Supplement 2007-06

5300xl Switch Support for the Wireless Edge Services xl Module

The Auto-VLAN is created with the first available VLAN ID starting from the

vlan-base (the default is 2100). There can be only one Auto-VLAN in a switch.

If one exists already, a new one is not created.

Auto-provisioning configures and manages Module and switch ports to auto-

matically supply communication between radio ports and a Module. In the

default configuration, when a Module is inserted, auto-provisioning adds its

downlink port (<slot-id>DP) to the Auto-VLAN as a tagged member, removes

the downlink port from VLAN 1, and places the Module’s uplink port (<slot-

id>UP) into VLAN 1 as a tagged member.

In the default configuration (LLDP is globally enabled and also enabled on the

5300xl switch port; auto-provisioning is enabled), when a radio port is

discovered to be connected to the wireless services-enabled switch, using the

LLDP data it transmits, the switch port connecting to the radio port is placed

in the Auto-VLAN as an untagged member, using a temporary override of the

port’s static VLAN. The override is temporary in that it ends when the radio

port is disconnected or a higher-priority override is made to the port (dis-

cussed previously). A VLAN override is not saved in a configuration file and

is lost when the switch reloads.

When a radio port is disconnected from the 5300xl, the temporary VID is

removed and the switch port returns to the VLAN(s) for which it is statically

configured as a member.

Note Auto-provisioning does not occur if the radio port connects to a switch port

that already has a temporary override VLAN assigned.

LLDP Auto-Provisioning. By default, LLDP is enabled on the switch and all

switch ports. This is required for auto-provisioning to operate.

ProCurve (Config)# lldp auto-provision radio-ports

The no form of this command disables auto-provisioning.
