Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module
Radio Port Adoption
b. Access the module CLI and enter these commands:
ProCurve(wireless-services-C)# configure
ProCurve(wireless-services-C)(config)# wireless
ProCurve(wireless-services-C)(config-wireless)# radio dns-name <name>
[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX]
Replace <name> with the name specified for the module on the DNS server.
The name can be up to 127 characters. Enclose the string with quotation
marks (“ ”) if you want to include spaces in the name: for example, you
might enter the following: “Company XYZ Module”.
The RP requests a DNS lookup of this name as part of Layer 3 adoption.
The exact request is the name that you enter followed by the domain name
suffix that the RP receives from the DHCP server.
Optionally, specify the MAC address of a single RP to have the module send
the DNS name to that RP only. Otherwise, the module sends the name to all
RPs adopted at that time. These RPs, if they later must perform Layer 3
adoption, will send the new name in requests to the DNS server.
Note The radio dns-name command pushes the name to RPs as a one-time event.
If an RP is adopted after you enter the command, you must enter it again to
affect that RP.
5. Ensure that all necessary IP helper addresses are in place in your network
infrastructure so that the RP’s DHCP request can reach the server.
6. Ensure that the RP’s default gateway can reach the IP addresses known by the
DNS server.
7. The Wireless Edge Services zl Module’s internal uplink port must be tagged for
the VLAN on which RPs messages arrive—that is, the VLAN on which the
module has the IP address specified on the DNS.
The module’s uplink port is probably already tagged for this VLAN. If so, the
RP is adopted without further configuration.
8. Install the RP in its final location, connecting it to a PoE device.
Verifying Layer 3 Adoption
To verify that an RP has been adopted at Layer 3, select Device Information > Radio
Adoption Statistics.
