Product overview

Working in unison with HP MSM and Unified Access Points, the IEEE 802.11ac-ready HP MSM Controller Series delivers a high-performance networking solution. The enhanced controller architecture scales to new WLAN standards without requiring a controller replacement. The MSM controllers provide advanced radio resource management (RRM), including client load balancing and interference mitigation. The MSM wireless controllers support a fast-roaming capability.

Wireless security is comprehensive with integrated wireless IDS and support for internal and external authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) servers; a built-in stateful firewall; per-user VLAN mapping; and authentication.

• Ease of use, scalability, and redundancy
• Enhanced architecture for flexible network design
• IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n AP and access device support
• Comprehensive WLAN security
• Appliance and blade form factorsWork in unison with the HP access points to deliver a cost effective high-performance networking solution for the mid-size enterprise campus.
  • Support for environments using bonjour services
  • Bonjour gateway – allows discovery of Bonjour services located in a different layer 3 network
  • HP Zerocast – Eliminates Bonjour multicast traffic from the WLAN enabling scalable deployment of Apple devices with no performance impact on the Wi-Fi network
  • Bonjour access control – Enables filters to be applied inbound and outbound (on the AP) to SSIDs, groups of or specific APs
  • User based filtering can block Bonjour traffic until the user is authenticated
