Converting Auto DAPs into Statically Configured APs 67

Converting Auto Distributed MAPs that are not configured on any WX switches in the DAPs into Statically Mobility Domain can nonetheless be booted and managed by a switch if

Configured APs the switch has a profile for Distributed MAPs, and has capacity to manage the MAP. A MAP that is booted and managed using a Distributed MAP profile is here called an Auto DAP.

You can convert the temporary connection of an Auto DAP to a WX switch into a permanent, statically configured connection on the switch.

1Select the Configuration tool bar option.

Creating a Network MSS Version 4.1 allows functionality found in Mobility Domains to be

Domainextended over a multiple-site installation, in a Network Domain. A Network Domain is a group of geographically dispersed Mobility Domains that share information over a WAN link. This shared information allows a user configured in one Mobility Domain to establish connectivity on a WX switch in a remote Mobility Domain. The WX switch forwards the user traffic by creating a VLAN tunnel to a WX switch in the remote Mobility Domain.

In a Network Domain, one or more WX switches acts as a seed device. A Network Domain seed stores information about all of the VLANs on the Network Domain members. The Network Domain seeds share this information among themselves, so that every seed has an identical database.
