Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Using Auto-Provisioning to Establish a Radio Port VLAN. When you
install a Wireless Edge Services xl Module in a ProCurve Switch 5300xl that
uses auto-provisioning, the switch automatically establishes VLAN 2100 as the
default Radio Port VLAN, or the Auto-VLAN. (If that VLAN is unavailable, the
switch uses the next available VLAN number.)
The switch also automatically configures the module’s internal downlink port
as a tagged member of this Radio Port VLAN. (The port is a tagged member
because the module drops all untagged traffic.)
When an RP is plugged into a port on the wireless services-enabled switch,
the switch uses Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to identify it. The
switch then automatically configures the port as an untagged member of the
default Radio Port VLAN. (Since the RP does not support 802.1Q, the external
switch interface must be untagged.)
See Figure 1-1.
Note If, for whatever reason, you do not want an RP placed in the default Radio
Port VLAN, you can manually establish a different Radio Port VLAN on the
wireless services-enabled switch. (In this case, you should turn off auto-
provisioning.) The instructions in “Manually Establishing a Radio Port VLAN”
on page 1-6 apply to a wireless services-enabled switch as well as to an
infrastructure switch.
