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
