Description
Management and Configuration of Wireless Access Point
The J9374B HP Procurve Msm310 54Mbps Wireless Access Point can be managed and configured using the web-based interface or the command-line interface (CLI). To access the web-based interface, connect to the access point’s IP address using a web browser. The default IP address is 192.168.2.1, and the default username and password are both “admin”.
The CLI can be accessed through a Telnet or SSH connection, and can be used to configure the access point and perform advanced troubleshooting tasks. The default username and password for the CLI are both “admin”.
Some of the common configurations that can be done on the J9374B HP Procurve Msm310 54Mbps Wireless Access Point include:
- Configuring the wireless SSID and security settings (e.g. WPA2)
- Setting up VLANs and tagging
- Configuring IP addresses and DHCP
- Managing access control lists (ACLs)
- Configuring SNMP
- Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)
- Updating firmware
Security Features for 54MBPS Access Point
The J9374B HP Procurve Msm310 54Mbps Wireless Access Point includes several security features to help protect your wireless network. Some of these features include:
- WPA2-Enterprise Authentication: This is a stronger form of wireless security that uses an authentication server (such as RADIUS) to validate the identity of wireless clients before they can connect to the network.
- WPA2-Personal (PSK) Authentication: This type of wireless security uses a pre-shared key (PSK) to authenticate wireless clients. The PSK is a password that is shared between the access point and the wireless clients.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) : This is a form of encryption that is used to protect data transmitted over the wireless network.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): ACLs can be used to control which devices are allowed to connect to the wireless network, based on factors such as MAC address.
- Network isolation: Enabling this feature can prevent wireless clients from communicating with each other, limiting the potential for attacks that spread between clients.
- Rogue AP Detection: This feature helps to detect and locate unauthorized access points (APs) that may have been set up on your network.
It’s recommended that you consult the HP Procurve Msm310 54Mbps Wireless Access Point User Manual for detailed instructions on how to configure these security features and to know about other security features that may exist.
Power and Environmental Considerations
The J9374B HP Procurve MSM310 54Mbps Wireless Access Point has a maximum power consumption of 12 watts. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) which allows it to receive power from a PoE-enabled switch, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. In terms of environmental considerations, the device is compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives. These directives aim to reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste by limiting the use of certain hazardous materials and promoting the recycling of electronic equipment.
