Introduction
Radio Ports
■ Hello messages—signal the RP’s presence and desire to be adopted. The hellos,
which are Layer 2 broadcasts, ensure that the Wireless Edge Services zl Module
detects the RP even if intervening switches do not support LLDP.
■ 802.1X EAP messages—authenticate the RP to the network (see “802.1X
Client” on page 1-70 for more information).
The Radio Port VLAN must be properly established in order for the discovery
messages to reach the module. (See “Communicating with RPs: Radio Port VLANs”
on page 1-7 or the Getting Started Guide for the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services
zl Module.)
