Configuring Directly Connected MAP Access Points 251
Configuring
Directly Connected
MAP Access Points
MAP access points contain radios that provide networking between your
wired network and IEEE 802.11 wireless users. a MAP can connect to the
wired network through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX or
indirectly through other Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices.
Configure a MAP port for each directly connected MAP.
Table 22 lists how many MAPs you can configure on a WX switch, and
how many MAPs a switch can boot. The numbers are for directly
connected and Distributed MAPs combined.
For a MAP that is indirectly connected to the WX through an
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network, configure a Distributed MAP
instead. (See “Configuring Distributed MAP Access Points” on page 258.)
You cannot configure any gigabit Ethernet port on a WX4400, or port 7
or 8 on a WX1200, or port 1 on a WXR100, as a MAP port. To manage a
MAP access point on a WX4400 switch, configure a Distributed MAP
connection on the WX switch. (See “Configuring Distributed MAP Access
Points” on page 258.)
To configure a
directly connected
MAP
To configure a directly connected MAP, use the following procedure.
1 Access the WX Switch wizard for the WX switch. (See “Accessing the WX
Switch Wizard” on page 187.)
2 Select Wireless at the top of the wizard, if not already selected.
3 Select MAP from the organizer list on the left side of the page.
4 In the table, enable a port as a MAP port by selecting MAP Enabled for
the port.
If a port is currently configured as a wired authentication port, you are
prompted to choose whether to reconfigure the port.
