Performance

Flexible forwarding modes: supports both distributed and centralized forwarding mode; in a wireless network using centralized forwarding, all wireless traffic is sent to the HP 830 Unified Wired-WLAN Switch for processing; if the distributed mode is configured, authenticated clients can continue to access local resources in the event that connectivity to the HP 830 Unified Wired-WLAN Switch is lost
Fast roaming: supports Layer 3 roaming and fast roaming, satisfying the mostdemanding voice service requirements

Scalability

Pay as you grow: license upgrades allow you to increase support for additional access points without the need to buy additional costly hardware and use additional valuable space in a rack

Resiliency and high availability

High reliability: supports N+1 and N+N backup
