Configuring The Access Controller Xl Module; Configuring Downlink Client Ports - HP ProCurve J8162A Supplementary Manual

Configuring the Access Controller xl Module

16
Configuring the Access Controller xl
Module
Once the module has an IP address and is communicating with its Access
Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, configure downlink client ports,
client VLANs, uplink network ports, and the uplink VLANs on the 5300xl
switch.

Configuring Downlink Client Ports

Each downlink client port is automatically assigned to a unique client VLAN.
The VID of the first client VLAN configured is specified by the vlan-base
(default: 2000). Additional client VLANs use the next available sequential VID
(2001, 2002, 2003, ...). If two Access Controller xl Modules are installed in the
5300xl switch, the vlan-base is the VID of the first client VLAN configured by
either ACM. The next client VLAN configured on either ACM uses the next
available sequential VID. Switch ports become untagged members of the client
VLAN. The downlink port also becomes a tagged member of the client VLAN.
From the CLI command prompt at the global configuration level, enter
HPswitch (config) #access-controller <slot-id> client-ports <port list>
where
<slot-id> is the slot letter where the module is installed.
<port list> is the switch port(s) to be used as downlink client ports.
For example:
HPswitch (config)# access-controller b client-ports a2,a6
assigns two downlink client ports and two new client VLANs (see Figure 4).
BDP, the downlink port for the module in slot B, is a tagged member of both
client VLANs.
