To ensure a future-proof environment, ETH Zurich
formulated a strategy for next generation networks,
known as NetNG. Based on 802.1x authentication,
it featured Cisco wired network technology and the
university wanted to recreate that same flexibility
and increased security in a new wireless set-up.

“We had changed our wired network to implement
Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) in the
backbone. Now, every institute at ETH Zurich has its
own VRF with its own firewall and security settings
and we wanted to extend these same access rights
to our wireless infrastructure,” says Derk Valenkamp,
team leader for ITS data and voice communication
at ETH Zurich. “Previously we had just one VLAN
for wireless with Cisco access points so the students
and staff members shared the same security settings,
which was not what we wanted.

“With the new wireless solution we wanted to
make a large number of VLANs accessible from the
wireless access points and we realised that this was
a challenge with Cisco but not a problem with HP
ProCurve. We also wanted to keep all the traffic out
at the access points so all wireless traffic would not
go through a controller. This would make it easier for
us to migrate to the new high performance 802.11n
wireless connectivity standard because we could just
change the access points without having to change
controllers.”

10 Gigabit connectivity
ETH Zurich has now installed 1,150 HP ProCurve
wireless access points. Its initial rollout involved
the HP ProCurve Multi-service Mobility (MSM)320
WW Access Points, however, ETH Zurich is now
migrating to the new HP ProCurve MSM422 WW
Access Points. Backed by the HP ProCurve Lifetime

The university is currently dynamically assigning
more than 250 VLANs. This will create unified
access so students and staff are automatically
connected to their home VLAN with individual
firewalls and secure access parameters, regardless
of whether they are using the wired or wireless
network. ETH Zurich has created a special landing
page so visitors can be authenticated to use the
networks and group accounts can also be created
for seminars or other events that may be taking
place within the university.

Increased throughput
“The main technical benefit of using HP ProCurve
wireless access points is that the traffic is kept
local so data is not tunnelled to a controller,” adds
Valenkamp. “This flexibility means that our rate
of change from the HP ProCurve MSM320 to the
MSM422 is quicker because no matter whether the
access point is connected to a one Gigabit or a
100 Megabit switch port, we can just grow with the
technology. Not having to replace controllers saves
days of work and will also save us $70,000 USD
because there is no need to buy new controllers.

“This solution also enables us to manage a large
number of VLANs which gives us greater flexibility
and makes life much easier for students and
staff. Being able to dynamically assign VLANs is
particularly useful for our staff who can benefit from
more access rights than was previously possible
when they had to connect via the student networks.
Because we now have a lot of access points,
everyone can connect to the network in a controlled
and authenticated way from almost anywhere on
the ETH Zurich campus.”

ETH Zurich now has more than 150 MSM422 WW
Access Points up and running, with another 150
planned for implementation in the near future.
“We get a lot more throughput from our new
ProCurve access points, which is good in areas
where there are a lot of students wanting to share
bandwidth,” concludes Valenkamp.
