Configuring Directly Connected MAP Access Points 253
6 In the Fingerprint box, type the 16-digit hexadecimal number of the
MAP’s encryption fingerprint. Use either of the following formats:
 11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00
 1122:3344:5566:7788:99aa:bbcc:ddee:ff00
A MAP’s fingerprint is the hash value of the MAP’s public encryption key.
The fingerprint is displayed on a label on the back of the MAP, and is
labeled RSA key. If the MAP is already installed and operating, use the CLI
command display dap status command to display the fingerprint.
The fingerprint is used for secure communication between the WX switch
and the MAP, and applies only to Distributed MAPs.
7 If you are configuring dual-homing support, in the Bias list, select High or
Low.
Bias is the priority of one WX connection over other WX connections to a
single MAP for booting, configuration, and data transfer. You can set a
Distributed MAP’s bias to be low or high. A configuration with a high bias
has priority over a configuration for the same MAP with low bias. The
default is High.
If the bias for all connections is the same, the MAP selects the WX switch
that has the greatest capacity to add more active MAPs. For example, if a
MAP is dual homed to two WX4400 switches, and one of the WX
switches has 50 active MAPs while the other WX switch has 60 active
MAPs, the new MAP selects the WX switch that has only 50 active MAPs.
Bias applies only to WX switches that are indirectly attached to the MAP
through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. A MAP always
attempts to boot on MAP port 1 first, and if the MAP is directly attached
to a WX switch on MAP port 1, it boots from that WX switch regardless
of the bias settings.
8 In the Enable Blink list, select Yes to enable LED blink mode or No to
disable it.
Blink mode enables you to visually identify a MAP. When blink mode is
enabled on an AP2750, AP7250, AP8250, or AP8750, the 11a LED blinks
on and off. When blink mode is enabled on other models (AP3750 and
MAP-xxx), the health and radio LEDs alternately blink green and amber.
By default, blink mode is disabled.
9 In the Enable Firmware Update list, select Yes to automatically upgrade
MAP boot firmware. The upgrade version of the firmware is loaded from
a WX when the MAP is booting.
