226 CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING MAP ACCESS POINTS
Specifying WX Switch Information To specify the WX switch a
Distributed MAP contacts and attempts to use as its boot device, use the
following command:
set ap apnumber boot-switch [switch-ip ip-addr] [name name
dns ip-addr] [mode {enable | disable}]
You can specify the WX switch by its fully qualified domain name; in this
case, you also specify the address of the DNS server used to resolve the
WX switch’s name. If you specify both the address of the WX switch, and
the WX switch’s name and DNS server address, then the MAP ignores the
WX switch’s address and uses the name.
When a static IP address is specified for a Distributed MAP, there is no
preconfigured DNS information or DNS name for the WX switch the
Distributed MAP attempts to use as its boot device. If you configure a
static IP address for a Distributed MAP, but do not specify a boot device,
then the WX switch must be reachable via subnet broadcast.
The following command configures Distributed MAP 1 to use the WX
switch with address 172.16.0.21 as its boot device.
WX# set ap 1 boot-switch switch-ip 172.16.0.21 mode enable
success: change accepted.
The following command configures Distributed MAP 1 to use the WX
switch with the name wxr100 as its boot device. The DNS server at
172.16.0.1 is used to resolve the name of the WX switch.
wx1200# set ap 1 boot-switch name wxr100 dns 172.16.0.1 mode
enable
success: change accepted.
Specifying VLAN information To specify 802.1Q VLAN tagging
information for a Distributed MAP, use the following command:
set ap apnumber boot-vlan vlan-tag tag-value [mode {enable |
disable}]
When this command is configured, all Ethernet frames emitted from the
Distributed MAP are formatted with an 802.1Q tag with a specified VLAN
number. Frames sent to the Distributed MAP that are not tagged with
this value are ignored.
