258 CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING WIRELESS PARAMETERS
Configuring
Distributed MAP
Access Points
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 Distributed MAP for each
indirectly 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 directly connected to the WX, configure a MAP port
instead. (For information, see “Configuring Directly Connected MAP
Access Points” on page 251.)
To configure a
distributed MAP
To configure a distributed 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 Distributed MAP from the organizer list on the left side of the
page.
4 To change the MAP-WX security mode for all Distributed MAPs, select
the value from the Security Mode drop-down list:
 None—Management traffic between Distributed MAPs and the WX is
not encrypted, even for MAPs that support encryption.
 Optional—Distributed MAPs can be managed by the switch even if
they do not have encryption keys or their keys have not been verified
by an administrator. Encryption is used for MAPs that support it.
