Getting Started With Switch Configuration Configuring the ProCurve Access Controller xl Module (J8162A) Configuring the ProCurve Access Controller xl Module (J8162A) Before beginning the configuration, backup current configurations of all devices. The Access Control Serer (740wl) and the Integrated Access Manager (760wl) software must be updated to version 4.1.3.x or later and the 5300xl switch software must be updated to version E.09.2x or later. There are three phases of configuration: ■ configuration of the 740wl/760wl ■ configuration of the module ■ configuration of the 5300xl switch 740wl/760wl Configuration HP recommends the use of a static IP address for the 740wl/760wl. If the IP address of the 740wl/760wl should change, access controller xl modules and 720wl Access Controllers would need to be reconfigured. Record this information, you will need it to configure the module. You also need to configure a shared secret on the 740wl/760wl. Refer to the documentation that came with that unit. Module Configuration Once the module has been installed into the 5300xl switch you need to configure it to enable communication with the 740wl/760wl. The module requires an IP address. By default the module uses DHCP to obtain an IP address. ProCurve recommends using DHCP to configure the module's IP address. If you need to configure a specific IP address for the module, do the following: From the CLI command prompt at the global configuration level ProCurve Switch 5308xl (config) # enter access-controller where is the slot letter (A-H) where the module is installed. To configure the module's IP address enter ip address where is the selected address and is the selected mask. CIDR notation "/mask bit number" (for example 10.1.1.1/24) is an acceptable shortcut for the IP address mask combination. 3-7 Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Configuring the ProCurve Access
Controller xl Module (J8162A)
Before beginning the configuration, backup current configurations of all
devices. The Access Control Serer (740wl) and the Integrated Access Manager
(760wl) software must be updated to version 4.1.3.x or later and the 5300xl
switch software must be updated to version E.09.2x or later.
There are three phases of configuration:
■
configuration of the 740wl/760wl
■
configuration of the module
■
configuration of the 5300xl switch
740wl/760wl Configuration
HP recommends the use of a static IP address for the 740wl/760wl. If the IP
address of the 740wl/760wl should change, access controller xl modules and
720wl Access Controllers would need to be reconfigured. Record this infor-
mation, you will need it to configure the module. You also need to configure
a shared secret on the 740wl/760wl. Refer to the documentation that came
with that unit.
Module Configuration
Once the module has been installed into the 5300xl switch you need to
configure it to enable communication with the 740wl/760wl. The module
requires an IP address. By default the module uses DHCP to obtain an IP
address. ProCurve recommends using DHCP to configure the module’s IP
address. If you need to configure a specific IP address for the module, do the
following:
From the CLI command prompt at the global configuration level
ProCurve Switch 5308xl (config) #
enter
access-controller<slot ID>
where
<slot ID>
is the slot letter (A-H) where the module is installed.
To configure the module’s IP address
enter
ip address <IP> <mask>
where
<IP>
is the selected address and
<mask>
is the selected mask. CIDR
notation “/mask bit number” (for example 10.1.1.1/24) is an acceptable
shortcut for the IP address mask combination.
