Applicable Switch Models
The Access Controller xl Module (J8162A) described in this supplement
operates on the HP ProCurve Series 5300xl switches.
The 5300xl switch software must be updated to version E.09.21 or later.

Introduction

The ProCurve Access Controller xl Module (ACM) enables secure, mobile user
access to appropriate network services on any ProCurve Series 5300xl switch.
This modular addition to the 5300xl switch offers a unique approach to
integrating identity-based user access control, wireless data privacy and
secure roaming with the flexibility of a full-featured intelligent edge switch.
Centrally configured and managed access policies provide identity-based
access control to wired and wireless users.

General Operation

The Access Controller xl Module (J8162A) uses ports on a 5300xl switch to
pass wired and wireless traffic to and from the network using authentication
and rights administration policies from an Access Control Server 740wl or an
Integrated Access Manager 760wl. Up to two ACMs may be used in a single
5300xl switch. Once the ACM is installed in the switch, connected to the
Access Control Server (740wl or 760wl), and configured for operation, it is
managed from the Administrative Console of the Secure Access 740wl or
760wl products.
