Review of Previous Module

In the last module – HP Wireless LAN Solutions, you

learned:-

– Compare and contrast the mobility needs of SMBs and enterprise

customers – Understand how WLANs solutions fit seamlessly into a converged

network.

– Describe the mobility needs of SMBs

– Describe the HP E-Series wireless products

– Explain how E-Series solutions meet the needs of SMBs

Introduction

– This module is delivered as an approximately 20 minute

recorded session. This session explores the basics of wireless

LAN configuration, different types of wireless LANs, the

principles governing wireless LAN communication, some of the

definitions and terminology used and the configuration of a

basic wireless infrastructure.

– The session then outlines the self-study tasks for the studentsto complete before moving on to the next module.

– Additional information can be found in the Student Study Plan.

Learning Objectives

– Define Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID), Extended Service

Set Identifier (ESSID), and Service Set Identifier (SSID)

– Define types of wireless devices (such as controllers, APs, thin

APs, fit APs, fat APs, and wireless bridges)

– Describe WLAN architecture options (such as standalone,controlled, and optimized WLAN)

– Compare and contrast controlled mode and autonomous mode

for HP E-Series MultiService Mobility (E-MSM) Access Points

(APs) – Understand the process required to configure Virtual Service

Communities (VSCs) to provide access for varying user groups

and to configure VLANs on autonomous E-MSM APs

Types of wireless networks

– Ad hoc mode

– Infrastructure mode

– In-cell relay mode

5



Ad hoc mode

– Two or more wireless stations

– Peer-to-peer connections

6

Also called an independent basic service set (IBSS)



Infrastructure mode

– AP establishes the wireless network and handles all

communications from wireless stations that associate with

it.

WLAN Configuration



Deploying a standalone HP E-MSM AP

1. Connect the AP to a PoE enabled switch port.

2. Access the AP and complete initial configuration:

1. Set the AP to standalone mode.

2. Assign IP settings.3. Secure management access.

3. Configure a VSC.

1. Create a VLAN for wireless users.

2. Establish and secure the WLAN.

4. Add the wireless user VLAN to the infrastructure.

18



Configuring PoE

– By default, E-Series PoE capable ports:

• Provide PoE

• Allocate just as much power to the port as the connected device

draws

– You must plan the power budget

• (AP1 PoE demand) + (AP2 PoE demand ) … < Switch total PoE

power

– If necessary, prioritize PoE on the APs’ ports: • Critical ports are provisioned first, then High, then Low (default).

• In case of a tie, ports with a lower number are provisioned first.

Completing the HP E-MSM AP initialconfiguration

1. A wizard guides you

through:

• Accepting a license and

registering the AP

• Setting the AP’s country code

• Changing the AP’s

password

2. If necessary, set

a static IP

address.

21



You must create the VLANs on which the AP bridges traffic:

1. Create a network profile.

2. Create the VLAN.

Configuring VLANs

22

Network > Networkprofiles > Add new profile

Network > Ports > AddNew VLAN



Creating a VSC

A VSC defines:

1. WLAN settings:

• SSID

• Wireless security2. Egress VLAN

3. Filters
