Management Interfaces
Management Interfaces
To configure and manage the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module, you
can use one of the following management interfaces:
■ Web browser interface — Accessed through a Web browser, this
intuitive interface provides comprehensive information to help you
manage and monitor your company’s wireless services. The menus
and online help guide you through configuration steps.
■ Command line interface (CLI) — Available through a serial, Telnet, or
Secure Shell (SSH) session to the zl switch. The wireless-services
context provides a complete set of commands to configure, manage,
and troubleshoot your wireless services.
The CLI commands available in the wireless-services context of the zl
switch CLI are documented in an appendix of the Management and
Configuration Guide for your Wireless Edge Services Module.
Web Browser Interface
Because the Web browser interface simplifies both management and
configuration tasks, this interface is recommended. See the Management and
Configuration Guide for your Wireless Edge Services Module for information
on using the Web browser interface to configure and manage a Module.
To run the Web browser interface for the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl
Module, your workstation must be running Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which
enables the Web browser to run Java applets. If your workstation is not
running the JVM and you attempt to open the Module’s Web browser interface,
the workstation will automatically try to access the Internet and download
the JVM.
In addition to ensuring that your workstation is running JVM, you must be able
to access the Wireless Edge Services zl Module’s IP address from the
workstation that is running the Web browser. Either determine the IP Address
dynamically assigned to the Module (through DHCP), or assign a static IP
address and default gateway before attempting access to the Module’s Web
browser interface.
