Introduction
Radio Ports
When a Wireless Edge Services zl Module receives an adoption request from an
unadopted RP—whether as a broadcast or as a targeted message—the module must
decide whether or not to adopt the RP.
You can configure the module to automatically adopt any identified, nonconfigured
RP. The simple plug-in installation makes this option ideal, as long as your organi-
zation secures access to its network devices. In a less secure environment, you should
configure the module to adopt only those RPs for which you manually specify the
MAC address. (You can also use port authentication to secure your network. See
“802.1X Client” on page 1-70.)
After adopting the RP, the module deploys the radio adoption default configuration
to it, and the RP can begin functioning in your network, as shown in Figure 1-22.
