  • Page 55: Configuring Virtual Access Point Interfaces

    Configuring virtual access point interfaces The router supports up to four virtual access point (VAP) interfaces per radio; a total of four for the R1 10 and eight for the R120. One VAP is the primary (with default SSID “HP1” for R1 10), and the others can be enabled if required.
  • Page 56: Configuring Wireless Security

    Configuring wireless security The router’s wireless interface is configured by default as an open system, which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon and automatically connect to the wireless network. To implement wireless security, you need to employ authentication, which verifies users connecting to the network, and traffic encryption, to protect transmitted data from interception and eavesdropping.
  • Page 57: Wep Security

    • WPA2: The Enterprise mode of WPA2 using AES encryption. If all clients in the network are WPA2 compatible, select this option for maximum security. This mode requires the use of a RADIUS server. See “WPA2” on page • WPA2-PSK: The Personal (pre-shared key) mode of WPA2 using AES encryption. The pre-shared key mode uses a common password phrase for user authentication that is manually entered on the router and all wireless clients.
  • Page 58 WEP security includes the following settings: Authentication Mode Leave as OPEN to configure WEP security. The static WEP security does not support user authentication. Encryption Type Select WEP to display the security options and to configure the keys. 802.1X Enables dynamic WEP security on the router. IEEE 802.1X enables you to authenticate wireless clients via user accounts stored on a third-party RADIUS server.
  • Page 59 “enterprise” mode of WPA and WPA2 uses IEEE 802.1X for user authentication and requires a RADIUS authentication server to be configured on the wired network. WPA2 is more secure than WPA (TKIP) or WEP, therefore HP recommends to select WPA2 for maximum possible security.
  • Page 60 Enter the key according to the type selected; in ASCII passphrase style (8-63 alphanumeric characters), or in exactly 64 Hexadecimal characters. For an ASCII key, HP recommends that the key be at least 20 characters long, and be a mix of letters and numbers. The passphrase key cannot begin or end with spaces.
  • Page 61 WPA/WPA2 enterprise If you have a mix of wireless clients, some of which support WPA2 (AES) and others which support only the original WPA (TKIP), select the WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security mode. This setting enables both WPA and WPA2 wireless clients to associate to the router, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients that support it.
  • Page 62: Configuring Radius Settings

    Enter the key according to the type selected; in ASCII passphrase style (8-63 alphanumeric characters), or in exactly 64 Hexadecimal characters.

  • Page 64: Advanced Wireless Settings

    Advanced wireless settings The Advanced wireless settings page includes additional parameters concerning the wireless network. This page includes the following settings: Beacon Interval The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router to synchronize the wireless network. DTIM Interval The DTIM Interval indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).
  • Page 65 The 802.1 1n standard specifies two guard intervals: 400ns (short) and 800ns (long). Support of the 400ns interval is optional for transmit and receive. The guard interval is the dead time, in nanoseconds, between symbols (or characters) transmitted by the AP. The guard interval helps distinguish where one symbol transmission stops and another starts, thereby reducing inter- symbol interference.
  • Page 66: Wds Settings

    WDS settings The router supports WDS (wireless Distribution System). WDS enables one or more access points to rebroadcast received signals to extend the range and reach of the wireless network, although this can affect the overall throughput of data. Note that WDS implementations can vary from product to product. Hence, there is no guarantee that different products will interoperate.
  • Page 67: Wps Settings

    WPS settings Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to be a convenient method to securely add new clients to a wireless network. WPS has two basic modes of operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC) and Personal Identification Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and provides more security.
  • Page 68: Wmm Settings

    Enter the 8-digit PIN number and click Start to activate the PIN method. If the WPS function is working correctly, you should see the WPS LED light up. • PBC: Uses the push-button method. Make sure the WPS function has been enabled on the device.
  • Page 69 Enable Power Saving The WMM-Power Save feature enables mobile client devices to save a significant amount of battery life by going into a sleep mode between sending and receiving data. WMM Parameters The WMM table includes these parameters: • AC_BK: Access Category - Background. Lowest priority. Data with no delay or throughput requirement, such as bulk data transfers.
  • Page 70: Mac Authentication Settings

    MAC authentication settings For a more secure wireless network, you can specify that only certain wireless computers can connect to the router. Up to 20 MAC addresses can be added to the MAC Filtering Table. When enabled, all registered MAC addresses are controlled by the access rule. MAC Authentication is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which wireless computers are allowed on the network.
  • Page 71: Viewing The Client List

    Viewing the client list The Client List page allows you to view all the wireless clients currently associated with the router. Select the SSID interface from the SSID list to display associated clients.

  • Page 105: Ipv6 Configuration

    1 1 IPv6 configuration If the attached network uses the IPv6 protocol, you can enable IPv6 support on the router. IPv6 functionality is disabled by default. IPv6 includes two distinct address types, link-local unicast and global unicast. A link-local address makes the router accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the local LAN. Traffic using this kind of address cannot be passed by any router outside of the LAN.

    SLAAC Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC) enables IPv6 hosts to automatically configure themselves when connected to an IPv6 network using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol through the Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) route discovery message. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters;...

    • Auto Configuration: Select Stateless (RADVD) or Stateful (DHCPv6). • Disable: Disables the automatic assignment of IPv6 addresses to local hosts. • Stateless (RADVD): Enables the automatic assignment of IPv6 addresses by hosts on the local network. The network portion of the address is based on prefixes received in IPv6 router advertisement messages, and the host portion is automatically generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the client identifier (that is, the client MAC address).

    12 QoS configuration The bandwidth gap between the LAN and WAN may significantly degrade performance of critical network applications, such as VoIP, gaming, and VPN. The router’s Quality of Service (QoS) function allows users to classify application traffic and provide them with differentiated services (DiffServ).
  • Page 114: Traffic Shaping

    Traffic shaping The Traffic Shaping page enables the bandwidth of the WAN port output queues to be configured. For higher priority traffic, such as voice and video, the bandwidth allocation of queues 3 and 4 can be increased, and those for queues 1 and 2 decreased. This page includes the following settings: General Enables the traffic shaping settings on the router.
  • Page 115: Traffic Mapping

    Traffic mapping Up to 16 rules can be defined to classify traffic into DiffServ forwarding groups and outgoing connections. These rules can be mapped to the WAN port forwarding queues, for which the bandwidth can be configured on the Traffic Shaping page. This page includes the following settings: Rule Name A name to identify the traffic mapping rule.
  • Page 116 Map to Forwarding Queue Maps the traffic to one of the WAN port forwarding queues. Queue 1 is the lowest priority queue and queue 4 the highest priority. Remark 802.1p priority as Before the identified traffic is sent to the forwarding queue, the 802.1p priority tag can be set to the specified value.
