Page 33: Working With Wireless Communities And Authentication
M210 communities can use third-party RADIUS servers to validate user login credentials for the WPA enterprise, 802.1X, or MAC-based authentication options. The M210 enables you to define up to four IPv4 and four IPv6 global RADIUS servers, which can be shared by each wireless community. - Page 34 RADIUS IP address/1/2/3 Enter up to four server IP addresses of the selected type. The first address is the primary RADIUS server. If it is unavailable, the M210 will attempt to use the others in sequence. RADIUS key/1/2/3 The RADIUS key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. The first key corresponds to the first IP address, and so on.
-
Page 35: Managing Wireless Communities
About the default wireless community By default, a single wireless community is defined. It is named HP, which is also its network name (SSID). You can modify settings for the default community, but you cannot delete it. You can create and delete additional communities. -
Page 36: Wireless Community Configuration Options
• RADIUS: Use the MAC authentication list on the external RADIUS server. The M210 uses the RADIUS servers configured for the Security method option selected for this wireless community. If no RADIUS servers are defined for the selected security method, the global RADIUS servers are used. -
Page 37: Wireless Protection
Wireless protection The M210 provides several methods to protect wireless transmissions from eavesdropping and to safeguard network access by unauthorized users. To choose the method that best meets the needs of your network, refer to the sections that follow. - Page 38 Key type Select the format used to specify the encryption key. The definition for the encryption key must be the same on the M210 and all wireless clients. • ASCII: ASCII keys are much weaker than carefully chosen hexadecimal keys. You can include ASCII characters from 32 to 126, inclusive, in the key, which includes upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.
- Page 39 802.1X enables you to authenticate wireless clients via user accounts stored on a third-party RADIUS server. 802.1X is purely a protocol for user authentication. On the M210, it is paired with Dynamic WEP, which adds WEP encryption based on a set of dynamically generated keys.
- Page 40 RADIUS IP or IPv6 address 1 to 3 Enter up to three IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers for this wireless community. The field label is RADIUS IP address when IPv4 is selected as the RADIUS IP address type, and RADIUS IPv6 address when IPv6 is selected.
-
Page 41: Wpa Personal
WPA2 (AES) can be used. The M210 uses the preshared key (PSK) you specify to generate the WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) keys that are used to encrypt the wireless data stream. Specify a key that is from 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters in length. -
Page 42: Wpa Enterprise

5 GHz band. Physical characteristics of the location To maximize coverage of an M210, install it in an open area with as few obstructions as possible. Try to choose a location that is central to the area being served. -
Page 48: Configuring Overlapping Wireless Aps
Configuring overlapping wireless APs When the radio is operating in the 2.4 GHz band and two or more APs may are within transmission range of each other, they may use overlapping channels. This may be under your control (for example, when you use several APs to cover a large location) or out of your control (for example, when your neighbors set up their own wireless networks). - Page 49 The solution to this problem is to set the two networks to different channels with as great a separation as possible in their operating frequencies. This reduces crosstalk and enables wireless clients connected to each M210 to transmit at the same time. AP 1...
- Page 50 Sample channel selections For example, when operating in 802.1 1b mode, the M210 supports the following 14 channels in the 2.4 GHz band: Channel Frequency Channel Frequency 2412 2447 2417 2452 2422 2457 2462 2427 2432 2467 2437 2472 2442...
- Page 51 In North America, you can reduce transmission delays by using different operating frequencies, as shown in the following figure: AP 1 AP 2 AP 3 Channel = 1 Channel = 6 Channel = 11 Alternatively, you can stagger APs to reduce overlap and increase channel separation, as shown in the following figure: AP 1 AP 2...

The M210 does this via a field in the beacons that it sends. So clients sending data to the M210 will use protection, but data sent from the M210 will not be protected.
-
Page 54: Channel Width
Channel width When operating in an 802.1 1n mode, the M210 enables you to use the standard channel width of 20 MHz or a double width of 40 MHz. A width of 40 MHz is achieved by using two adjacent channels to send data simultaneously. The advantage of using a 40 MHz wide channel is that the available bandwidth is doubled, leading to much higher throughput for clients operating in that mode. -
Page 55: Country
The country of operation, also known as the regulatory domain, determines the availability of certain wireless settings on the M210. Once the country has been set, the M210 automatically limits the available wireless channels and channel width, and adjusts the radio power level in accordance with the regulations of the selected country. - Page 56 Note In 802.1 1n (2.4 GHz) and 802.1 1n (5 GHz) modes, the M210 does not permit non- 802.1 1n clients to associate. Also in this mode, the M210 does not use protection mechanisms (RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self) to enable legacy APs to operate on the same frequency. This can potentially cause problems with legacy (802.1 1a/b/g) APs operating on the same channel, but...
-
Page 57: Advanced Radio Settings
This field displays the currently assigned channel. Station isolation When enabled, the M210 prevents communication between wireless clients associated with the same wireless community. Clients can still communicate with the wired network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different wireless community. This selection is applied to all wireless communities on the AP. - Page 58 Note If SGI is enabled on the M210 but a wireless client does not support SGI, the client will be able to communicate with the M210 at a data rate that is about 10% slower than SGI-enabled clients. Select one of the following options: •...
- Page 59 Sending smaller frames (by using lower fragmentation threshold) might help with some interference problems; for example, with microwave ovens. By default, fragmentation is off. HP recommends not using fragmentation unless you suspect radio interference. The additional headers applied to each fragment increase the overhead on the network and can greatly reduce throughput.
-
Page 60: Detecting Rogue Aps
There is no prioritization or quality of service handling for multicast traffic because the M210 AP supports only one multicast queue. Select Auto to have the M210 choose the best rate automatically. The range of valid values is determined by the configured radio mode. The default value is Auto. -
Page 61: Detected And Known Ap Lists
Detected and Known AP lists When the M210 discovers an AP during a scan, it compares the MAC address of the AP against the Known AP list (a list that you create or import using the capabilities on this page). - Page 62 You can select Delete to remove an the AP from the Known AP list. Note The Detected rogue AP list and Known AP list provide information only. The M210 does not have control over the APs on these lists and cannot apply any security policies to them.
-
Page 63: Working With Saved Ap Lists
Working with saved AP lists You can save the Known AP list and import a saved list to the M210. A saved list can show APs that you previously identified as known APs but that may not be showing in the current Detected rogue AP list (because they are not currently operational, for example). -
