Working with VSCs
About the default VSC
About the default VSC
The default VSC is automatically created by the service controller. It is identified with the
label (default) in the VSC list. Initially, this VSC is named HP ProCurve.
Traffic from wired users is always handled by the default VSC as follows:
When access control is disabled on the default VSC, traffic from wired users
connected to the service controller LAN port is blocked.
When access control is enabled on the default VSC, traffic from authenticated wired
users connected to the service controller LAN port is sent on the egress mapping defined
on the default VSC. If HTML and 802.1X based authentication methods are disabled,
traffic from all users is sent on the egress mapping without the need for authentication.
Note If only MAC-based authentication is defined on the default VSC, wired users gain access to
the network without being authenticated. Wireless users however, must log in because MAC-
based authentication applies to wireless users only.
Quality of service (QoS)
The quality of service (QoS) feature provides a number of different mechanisms to prioritize
wireless traffic sent to wireless client stations. This is useful when the service controller
handles wireless traffic from multiple devices (or multiple applications on a single device),
that have different data flow requirements.
