It does not matter how you actually configure these attributes on the RADIUS
server. However, IDM greatly simplifies this process. On IDM, you create
policies to control individual users’ network access depending on the time and
location from which they connect. An IDM agent automatically configures the
correct attributes on the RADIUS server. (See the ProCurve Identity Driven
Manager User’s Guide for more information. You can download this guide
from http://www.procurve.com.)
Controlling Traffic Manually
You can also control traffic according to manually created rules on the
Wireless Edge Services xl Module; such policies are generally less flexible.
You cannot configure rate limits manually.
Assigning VLANs Manually. When configuring VLAN assignments manu-
ally, you must assign an entire WLAN to the same VLAN. For example, users
A, B, and C connect to WLAN 1. User A is in the marketing department, user
B is in the engineering department, and user C is a guest. With IDM and a
RADIUS server, you could configure the module to place each user in a
different VLAN. Manually, you must place all in the same user VLAN, as shown
in Figure 1-7.
