Deploying The Hp R110/R120 - HP R110 Configuration And Administration Manual

1 Deploying the HP R1 10/R120
In a small office, the HP R1 10/R120 can be directly connected to a broadband modem (DSL or
cable) to provide secure wireless networking for all employees. In the following scenario,
employees can share data and resources with each other and access the Internet at the same
time:
Wireless community
High security wireless network for
employees using WPA/WPA2.
DSL/Cable modem
R110/R120
With its wireless community feature, the R1 10 can be configured to provide up to four separate
wireless networks (all on the same wireless channel), and the R120 up to eight wireless
networks (split between two radios), each with its own configuration settings for security, VLAN
support, and more.

and the Internet
High security wireless network
(WPA/WPA2) for employees
VLAN 1
VLAN 2
R110/R120
Wireless community 2
Guests with access to a network
Low security wireless network
printer and the Internet
for guests
In this scenario, employees connect to wireless community 1, which is protected with WPA/
WPA2. All employee traffic exits the HP R1 10/R120 on VLAN 1, providing access to private
resources on the company network and on the Internet.
Guests connect to wireless community 2, which is protected with WEP. All guest traffic exits the
HP R1 10/R120 on VLAN 2, providing access only to the Internet.
For offices that need Ethernet ports for wired connectivity, the R1 10/R120 has a built-in 4-port
Gigabit switch. It can also be used to extend the reach of the network to areas that are difficult
or impossible to reach with traditional cabling.
