HP V-M200 802.11n Access Point

Overview:

The HP V-M200 802.11n Access Point provides wireless connectivity for your expanding network. Take full advantage of the next-generation IEEE 802.11n standard with the V-M200 access point's dual-band capability while simultaneously supporting IEEE 802.11a or 802.11b/g devices. The new Web user interface makes the V-M200 access point easy to set up, yet retains key functionality to keep your sensitive data secure.

• IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n access point
• Single radio, dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Independently managed
• Easy-to-use Web user interface
• Powered by 802.3af PoE or included power supply

Features:

Management

• Secure and easy-to-use Web UI —
  • Quick setup page — consolidates key settings into one page for simple and rapid configuration for common deployment scenarios
  • HTTPS secured management sessions — prevent management sessions from being observed on the network
• Integration with HP PCM — enables discovery and mapping via HP PCM, available as a free download from the Web; provides all the basic tools needed to handle a network effectively, along with a 60-day trial version of HP PCM+
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) — automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network management applications
• Manager, operator privilege levels — provides read-only (operator) and read-write (manager) access levels for Web management

Connectivity

• Fully IEEE 802.11n-compliant dual-band access point —
  • 2.4 GHz frequency band support — uses your IEEE 802.11n wireless clients alongside legacy IEEE 802.11b/g devices
  • 5 GHz frequency band support — operates your IEEE 802.11n and 802.11a devices in the 5 GHz spectrum, which has less interference from microwave ovens, Bluetooth® devices, and cordless phones
• IEEE 802.3af PoE-powered device (PD) option — simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying local power at each access point location
• Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on the 10/100/1000 port
• Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D) — prevents network loops

Mobility

• Four wireless communities — consolidates Quality of Service, security, and VLAN settings into one easy-to-manage identifier per SSID
• Service-class segmentation —
  • Up to four SSIDs (one per wireless community) — allows administrator to identify multiple service sets for clients to access
  • Up to four VLANs (one per wireless community) — IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging provides security between workgroups
  • Wireless community-based prioritization — allows the administrator to help ensure that key network traffic is prioritized by weighting specific wireless communities
• Auto Channel Select (ACS) — helps reduce radio co-channel interference by automatically selecting an unoccupied radio channel
• Wireless Distribution System (WDS) modes —
  • Access Point and WDS Bridge, Access Point Only, WDS Bridge Only, and Monitor — allow HP V-M200 802.11n Access Points to connect wirelessly to other HP V-M200 802.11n Access Points without a wired backbone; this is useful for extending the network across areas where no wired infrastructure exists
• Interoperability — meets Wi-Fi Alliance certifications, including IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi and WPA2 to help provide multivendor interoperability
• Three external 3x3 MIMO omni-directional antennas — enable the antennas to be configured for improved radio coverage and performance
• Quality of Service management —
  • IEEE 802.1p — maps WMM prioritization to IEEE 802.1p queues on the wired network
  • Wireless community-based prioritization — allows users to prioritize traffic based on wireless community (SSID)
  • DiffServ — prioritizes data based on the traffic class

• AP client access control functions —
  • IEEE 802.1X authentication using EAP-SIM, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP
  • MAC address authentication using local or RADIUS access lists
  • RADIUS AAA using EAP-MD5, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv2
  • Layer 2 wireless client isolation
• RADIUS-based MAC authentication — authenticates a wireless client with a RADIUS server based on the MAC address of the client; this is useful for clients with minimal or no user interface
• Choice of IEEE 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), or WPA — locks out unauthorized wireless access by authenticating users prior to granting network access; robust Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption secures the data integrity of wireless traffic
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) — encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management interface of the access point
• Local wireless bridge client traffic filtering — when enabled, prevents communication between wireless devices associated with the same access point
• Closed system — restricts broadcast of SSID as a security measure to conceal presence of the wireless network; access point does not respond to the wireless client probe request of "ANY"
• Management password — provides security so that only authorized access to the Web browser interface is allowed
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) using 64 and 128-bit encryption — provides backward compatibility for legacy clients
• Rogue AP detection — identifies all access points in range; known or trusted access points can be saved, allowing network administrators to identify unauthorized access points

Monitor and diagnostics

• Diagnostic —
  • Client event log records association, authentication, and DHCP events
  • Packet capture tool for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interfaces (PCAP format)
  • Data rate matrix
  • Remote SYSLOG
