Note
Uplink and downlink port names depend on the switch slot where the module
is installed. When the module is in switch slot A, 'N' is 'A' in Figure 1. The uplink
port for the module is AUP; the downlink port is ADP.
The following steps are required to add an ACM to your network:
1. Install an Access Control Server 740wl or Integrated Access Manager
760wl in the network, or identify an existing 740wl or 760wl to be used
with the ACM.
2. Having identified the Access Control Server 740wl or Integrated Access
Manager 760wl to be used with the ACM, note its IP address. To operate,
the ACM must establish secure communications with the Access Control
Server or Integrated Access Manager.
The shared secret configured on the 740wl/760wl's is also needed. If you
are already using a 760wl, you may not have configured a shared secret.
See "Editing the Access Control Server Configuration" in the HP ProCurve
Secure Access 700wl Series Management and Configuration Guide,
available on the Documentation CD-ROM shipped with your module or
from the ProCurve Networking Web site at
http://www.hp.com/go/procurve
manuals (all)).
3. Install the ACM in a slot on the 5300xl switch. Once the Module Ready
LED is on, the ACM requires an IP address. By default, the ACM uses
DHCP. The IP address also can be set manually. The uplink port must be
an untagged member of a VLAN that can communicate with the 740wl or
760wl. The ACM establishes communication with the 740wl/760wl, using
the IP address and the shared secret from step 2 above. See the HP
ProCurve xl Modules Installation Guide for details.
4. Configure downlink client ports, client VLANs, uplink network ports, and
the uplink VLAN on the 5300xl switch. Configure access and user/group
policy rights on the 740wl/760wl to support and manage clients and client
traffic through the ACM.
5. Manage and monitor the ACM using the Administrative Console on a
740wl or 760wl.
There are specific installation and operational requirements for this device as
a module in a Series 5300xl switch. The following sections describe how the
module operates and how it is configured for use.
