HP V-M200 802.11n Access Point

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.

Features of the HP V-M200 802.11n Access Point

• 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


• 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


• 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


• 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 the 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
