Scenario 2: Connecting a wired device using
MAC address cloning
This scenario explains how to connect a single wired device to a wireless network using the
M111’s Ethernet MAC cloning feature.
Overview
In this scenario, a wired printer is converted to wireless access. Since the printer is already
known by users on the network, the MAC cloning feature is used to preserve the printer’s
network identity. This enables users to maintain access to the printer without changing their
settings.
This scenario assumes that:
The M111 is in its factory-default state.
A DHCP server is operating on the private network, assigning addresses on the subnet
192.168.5.0
The MSM AP is operating in autonomous mode in its factory default configuration. (As
such, it obtains an IP address of 5.25 from the DHCP server and creates a wireless
network call HP ProCurve.) Install the MSM AP as described in its Quickstart.
The printer is configured with a static IP address of 192.168.5.10.
