Access Controller xl Module for the Series 5300xl Switches
Using 5300xl Features with the Access Controller xl Module
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.
Using 5300xl Features with the Access
Controller xl Module
As the ACM uses special ports and VLANs to provide access security to
wireless devices, not all of the features of the 5300xl switch are applicable.
For example, features that provide an alternative means of authentication are
not supported on ACM downlink client ports.
Some 5300xl configurations are not allowed by the Command Line Interface
(CLI). When a CLI command fails, a message is displayed explaining why.
Warning messages are issued when an operation could potentially cause
problems managing traffic through the ACM. For example, if a downlink client
port is assigned to a non-client VLAN, traffic could enter the network without
first being authenticated and assigned specific access rights by the ACM. In
this case, a warning message is issued stating that the port is a member of a
client VLAN. In some cases Log messages are also created when an operation
is done, noting the potential conflict with ACM operation.
