Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module

Radio Port Adoption

By default, the Wireless Edge Services zl Module automatically adopts radio ports

(RPs) that it detects on the network. For more security, you can disable automatic RP

adoption and configure the module to adopt only those RPs for which you manually

enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address.

The module can adopt RPs that are in the Radio Port VLAN (Layer 2 adoption) or

in a different VLAN across a subnetwork boundary (Layer 3 adoption). Figure 2-30

illustrates when to use each type of adoption. In either case, your network must meet

certain requirements in order for the module to detect the RP.

Figure 2-30. Layer 2 Versus Layer 3 Adoption

Network Requirements for Layer 2 Adoption

Before the Wireless Edge Services zl Module can adopt an RP that is connected to

your network, the module must detect that RP. Detection is dependent upon network

connectivity: all the network interfaces between the module and the RP must be

correctly configured to carry traffic in the Radio Port VLAN.
