Dual-homed direct and distributed connections to WSSs
Figure 4 shows an example of a dual-homed configuration in which one AP connection is direct and the other is distrib-
uted over the network.
Figure 4. Dual-homed direct and distributed connections to WSSs
In this example, the AP’s port 1 is directly connected to a WSS. The AP always attempts to boot first from the directly
connected WSS. The AP attempts to boot using AP port 2 only if the boot attempt on port 1 fails. If the active data link
fails, the WSS reboots using the other link.
