MP Access Point Commands
MP Access Point Commands
12 – 241
When a static IP address is specified for a Distributed MP, there is no preconfigured DNS
information or DNS name for the MX that the Distributed MP attempts to use as the boot device.
If you configure a static IP address for a Distributed MP, but do not specify a boot device, then the
MX must be reachable via subnet broadcast.
Examples
The following command configures Distributed MP 1 to use an MX with address
172.16.0.21 as its boot device.
MX# set ap 1 boot-configuration switch switch-ip 172.16.0.21 mode enable
success: change accepted.
The following command configures Distributed MP 1 to use the MX with the name mxr2 as its boot
device. The DNS server at 172.16.0.1 is used to resolve the name of the MX.
MX# set ap 1 boot-configuration switch name mxr2 dns 172.16.0.1 mode enable
success: change accepted.

ap apnum Index value that identifies the MP on the MX. You can specify a
value from 1 to 9999.
