Usage
If you set the radiotype to 11a and the MP configuration profile is used to configure a
two-radio MP model, radio 1 is configured as an 802.11b/g radio and radio 2 is configured as the
802.11a radio. Because this is the reverse of the standard configuration (where radio 1 is the
802.11a radio and radio 2 is the 802.11b/g radio), the radio 1 settings configured in the MP
configuration profile are applied to radio 2. Likewise, the radio 2 settings configured in the profile
are applied to radio 1. This behavior ensures that settings for radio 1 are always applied to the
80211a radio, regardless of the radio number.
Examples
The following command sets the radio type to 802.11b:
MX# set ap auto radiotype 11b
success: change accepted.

set ap bias
Changes the bias for an MP. Bias is the priority of one MX over other MX switches for booting and
configuring the MP.
Syntax
set ap apnum auto bias {high | low}
Defaults
The default bias is high.
Access
Enabled.
History
Usage
High bias is preferred over low bias. Bias applies only to MX switches indirectly attached
to the MP through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. An MP always attempts to boot on
MP port 1 first, and if an MX is directly attached on MP port 1, the MP always boots from it.
If MP port 1 is indirectly connected to MX switches through the network, the MP boots from the
MX with the high bias for the MP. If the bias for all connections is the same, the MP selects the
