Introduction

HPE 525 802.11ac Dual Radio Access Point Series bring 867 Mbps performance, faster application processing, and increased range to 802.11 clients over 802.11n access points. Ideal for dense client environments and high bandwidth applications, the access points can be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) and offer full compatibility with legacy 802.11 clients and existing HP Unified wireless controllers.

The access points provide Radio Frequency spectrum analysis with detection and classification of non-IEEE 802.11 interference and has the ability to automatically avoid interference. Wireless security is comprehensive when operating with a controller; with integrated wireless IDS/IPS, support for internal and external authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) servers; built-in

Features and benefits

Management

Wi-Fi Clear Connect

provides a system-wide approach to improving WLAN reliability by proactively determining and adjusting to changing RF conditions; helps optimize WLAN performance by detecting interference from Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources using spectrum analysis capabilities built into the access points, identifying rogue activity, and making decisions at a systemwide level.

Advanced radio resource management

oAutomatic radio power adjustments

include real-time power adjustments based on changing environmental conditions and signal coverage

adjustment

o Automatic radio channel

provides intelligent channel switching and real-time Interference detection o Intelligent client load balancing

determines number of clients across neighboring APs and adjusts client allocation to balance the load

oAirtime fairness

provides equal RF transmission time for wireless clients

Spectrum analysis

oPower/frequency spectrum analysis

measures noise from IEEE 802.11 remote sources

oSignal detection/classification

identifies source of RF interference, for example, Bluetooth®, cordless phones, and microwave ovens

oEvaluation of channel quality

helps detect severe channel degradation and improve the reporting of poor RF performance

Integrated Wireless IDS/IPS

detects and locates and mitigates unknown and rogue devices (see controller datasheet for details))

Access point management via a wireless controller

provides secure web browser (SSL and VPN), command-line interface, SNMP v2c, SNMP v3, MIB-II with traps, and RADIUS

Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618); offers embedded HTML management tool with secure access (SSL and VPN); implements scheduled configuration and firmware upgrades from a central controller

HPE Intelligent Management Center and Wireless Services Manager Software provides central management for discovery, logging, status, and configuration management

Diagnostics

records association, authentication, and DHCP events in client event log; packet capture tool for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interfaces (PCAP format); includes data rate matrix

Compatible with HPE Unified Switches, Controllers and Module

oRefer to the HPE Access Point—Controller Compatibility Matrix at http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA5-0345ENW&cc=us&lc=en

o Refer to the release notes for minimum version numbers required.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Rate limiting

supports per-wireless client ingress-enforced maximums and per-wireless client, per-queue guaranteed minimums

Centralized traffic

maintains Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings when using centralized traffic or guest access

IEEE 802.1p prioritization

Overview

delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic

Wireless

o L2/L3/L4 classification

supports IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority, SpectraLink SVP, and DiffServ

oMultiple SSIDs per radio

Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM), IEEE 802.11e EDCF, and Service-Aware priority

Connectivity

IEEE 802.3 (PoE)

o 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

o802.3af the AP will operate with both radios at full performance

Auto-MDIX

adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on the Ethernet interface

Mobility

Two spatial stream MIMO technology

provides the latest in Wi-Fi technology, which allows for 867 Mbps in the 5GHz frequency band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band of signaling

Band steering

redirects 5 GHz-capable clients automatically to the less-congested 5 GHz spectrum

HPE 525 embedded antennas

provides excellent coverage through use of embedded high-gain antennas (4 dBi antenna at 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi antenna at 5 GHz); no need for the added cost of external antennas

External antenna

oOptional external antenna for better antenna placement via RP-SMA connectors

Anywhere, anytime wireless coverage

dual-radio IEEE 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n/ac access point; per-radio software-selectable configuration of frequency bands; self-healing, self-optimizing local mesh that extends network availability; Wi-Fi Alliance Certifications for interoperability with all IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac client devices

Overview

Integrated IDS support

o Automated AP and client classification

reduces manual effort (administrator can override AP classification) o Comprehensive detection capabilities

detects a wide range of attacks o Flexible event reporting

enables configuration of which events will result in notifications o Location tracking capabilities

helps identify the rogue device location

oFlexible deployment models

supports time slicing or dedicating a radio to detect full-time

osee the controller datasheet for more detail

Choice of IEEE 802.11i, 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

TKIP/WEP encryption

is supported only on legacy IEEE 802.11a/b/g clients as it has been deprecated from the IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac standards

Local wireless bridge client traffic filtering
