Configuring VLANs on the 5300xl Switch
In a wireless services-enabled 5300xl switch, the Wireless Edge Services xl
Module and the Redundant Wireless Services xl Module use ports on the
switch to pass wired and wireless traffic to and from the network. An uplink
VLAN, containing the module’s uplink port, communicates with the wired side
of the network; downlink radio port VLANs, containing the module’s downlink
port, communicate with the wireless side of the network.
See the Wireless Edge Services xl Module Supplement to the ProCurve 6400cl/
5300xl/3400cl Management and Configuration Guide for detailed informa-
tion on the set up and configuration of VLANs for module communication.
Determining a Module Configuration Backup Process
The module’s configuration files are stored on the module, not on the 5300xl
switch, unlike other 5300xl modules. An external FTP or TFTP server must be
used to back up and restore a module’s complete configuration.
The switch does save a small subset of the module’s configuration that allows
the switch to locate the full configuration file on the external FTP or TFTP
server and to validate it using a checksum. The stored subset of a module’s
configuration file appears in a
show running-config or show config command
as uneditable text.
For more information on configuring and managing configuration files on an
external FTP or TFTP server see the
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl
Modules Management and Configuration Guide .
Configuring Wireless LAN Services
To configure wireless LAN services on a wireless services-enabled 5300xl
switch use one of the following management interfaces for the module:
■ Web browser interface—Accessed through a Web browser, this intu-
itive interface provides comprehensive information to help you
manage and monitor your company’s wireless services. The menus

Configuration Guide
for information on using the Web browser
interface to configure and manage a module.
