HP MSM7XX User Manual

Working with VSCs
VSC configuration options
5-7
When only authentication is enabled
In this configuration, the controlled AP forwards authentication requests from users on the
VSC to the controller. The controller resolves these requests using the local user list, or the
services of a third-party authentication server (Active Directory or RADIUS server).
The controlled AP forwards all authenticated user traffic from users on the VSC to the
protected network (or another device performing access control) according to settings
defined on the controlled AP.
When neither option is enabled
In this configuration, the controlled AP can be configured to resolve authentication requests
using a third-party RADIUS server and forward authenticated user traffic to the protected
network (or another device performing access control). In this scenario, the controller is only
used for management of the controlled AP.
