HP MSM720 Specification page 4

QuickSpecs
Overview
authenticates users with an internal or external RADIUS server or Microsoft® Active Directory before allowing full network
connectivity connectivity
Quality of Service (QoS)
Rate limiting
supports per-wireless client ingress-enforced maximums and per-wireless client, per-queue guaranteed minimums
Centralized traffic
Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings are maintained when using Mobility Traffic Manager or guest access
Mobility
Solutions enhanced for businesses
MSM7xx controllers deliver services for a range of vertical markets, including healthcare, hospitality, education, manufacturing,
transportation, and service providers
Powerful security capabilities
robust, identity- and role-based user account profiles use internal or external AAA services
Solutions that cover the most important WLAN applications
HP MSM solutions deliver rich application support, including guest access, location-based services, Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi),
hotspot, surveillance, and secure point of sale
Capacity that scales from small office to large campus
efficiently deploy wireless LANs (WLANs) with the MSM720 controller, which supports 10 to 40 APs; and the MSM760 and
MSM765 zl controllers, which control 40 to 200 APs
Premium Mobility scalability features
Virtual controller
supports a team of up to 800 APs and five controllers (MSM76x—must be the same type within a team) or 40 APs across
two controllers (MSM720) managed via a single IP address
N+1 redundancy
teaming provides N+1 redundancy
Seamless failover
APs can fail-over without rebooting, which preserves network mobility services for wireless clients when the client traffic
is bridged locally at the AP
64 VSC profiles
up to 64 profiles can be defined
Mobility Traffic Manager
flexible and multiple network distribution schemes address a range of business needs; policies for user network and security
profiles are consistently applied and enforced; wireless traffic can be directed anywhere in the network as required; enterprise
businesses can easily migrate to the MSM mobility solution, preserving prior network designs
Controller client access control
provides SSL-protected universal access method, MAC address authentication, and IEEE 802.1x authentication; Web proxy
server; support for centralized portal; AAA Security; WPA and WPA2 encryption; client-fixed IP address spoofing; per-site and
per-user access lists; white list and black list support; bandwidth limiting per user, per VLAN, or per VSC; and concurrent users
(250 for the MSM720, and 2,000 for the MSM760 and MSM765 zl controllers)
Simplified management with central control
MSM7xx controllers reduce the time and complexity of managing a wireless network; the solution controls up to hundreds of
APs (depending on the controller) from a single management interface and helps ensure that a consistent set of services is
delivered throughout the wireless network; the controllers push authentication, encryption, QoS enforcement, and access
policies to the access points, delivering intelligence to the edge of mobile networks
Services
provides standard Layer 2 roaming and VoWLAN support on all controllers, advanced fast roaming on mobility controllers, plug-
and-play AP management, and public and guest Internet access
