Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module
Radio Port Adoption
Note You might also need to perform some configuration tasks on the wireless
services-enabled switch, such as raising the maximum number of VLANs. For
help on completing configuration tasks on the wireless services-enabled
switch, refer to the appropriate guide for the zl switch:

Network Requirements for Layer 3 Adoption
As discussed in “Network Requirements for Layer 2 Adoption” on page 2-58,
RPs can be adopted at Layer 2 as long as you attach them to an infrastructure
switch that is in the same VLAN (Layer 2 domain) as the wireless services-
enabled switch. The messages that the RPs send to become adopted, which
are Layer 2 broadcasts, can reach the Wireless Edge Services zl Module.
Sometimes, however, you may want to attach RPs to switches that are on a
different subnetwork than the Wireless Services zl Module, requiring a Layer 3
device, such as a router, to establish communications. In this case, Layer 3
adoption is required. Figure 2-34 shows several RPs that require Layer 3
adoption.
