5If you are configuring dual-homing support, in the Bias list, select High or Low.

Bias is the priority of one WX connection over other WX connections to a single MAP for booting, configuration, and data transfer. You can set a Distributed MAP’s bias to be low or high. A configuration with a high bias has priority over a configuration for the same MAP with low bias. The default is High.

If the bias for all connections is the same, the MAP selects the switch that has the greatest capacity to add more active MAPs. For example, if a MAP is dual homed to two WX4400 switches, and one of the switches has 50 active MAPs while the other switch has 60 active MAPs, the new MAP selects the switch that has only 50 active MAPs.

Bias applies only to WX switches that are indirectly attached to the MAP through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. A MAP always attempts to boot on MAP port 1 first, and if the MAP is directly attached to a WX switch on MAP port 1, it boots from that switch regardless of the bias settings.

6In the Enable Blink list, select Yes to enable LED blink mode or No to disable it.

When blink mode is enabled, the health and radio LEDs alternately blink green and amber, allowing you to visually identify a MAP. By default, blink mode is disabled.

7In the Enable Firmware Update list, select Yes to automatically upgrade MAP boot firmware. The upgrade version of the firmware is loaded from a WX when the MAP is booting.

Select No to disable automatic firmware upgrading. Automatic firmware upgrading is enabled by default.
