Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Like the downlink port, the uplink port must tag traffic for every VLAN it
carries. (The Wireless Edge Services xl Module never forwards untagged
traffic to the wireless services-enabled switch.)
Figure 1-4 illustrates a network in which traffic from WLAN 1 is forwarded
into the Ethernet network in VLAN 10. Note that the station receives an IP
address for the network’s DHCP server.

Forwarding Traffic Between the Wireless and Ethernet
Network
In summary, the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module follows this
process to forward traffic from wireless stations (via RPs) into the Ethernet
network:
1. It receives the traffic on its internal downlink port in a Radio Port VLAN.
2. It applies controls to the traffic, if any are configured. Such controls can
include ACL filters and rate limits. (See “Controlling Traffic with Policies”
on page 1-19 and “Traffic Management” on page 1-23 for more information
on such controls.)
3. It tags the traffic for the uplink VLAN specified in that station’s
association.
