3Com WX2200 3CRWX220095A, WXR100 3CRWXR10095A manual MAP sends a unicast Find WX message to WX1

MAP Overview 199

5The DNS server sends the system IP address of the WX switch mapped to 3com.example.com. In this example, the address is for WX1.

6The MAP sends a unicast Find WX message to WX1.

7WX1 receives the Find WX message and compares the bias settings on each WX for the MAP. More than one WX has a high bias for the MAP, so WX1 selects the WX that has the greatest capacity to add new active MAP connections. In this example, WX1 has more capacity. WX1 sends its own IP address in the Find WX Reply message to the MAP.

8The MAP contacts WX1 and determines whether it should use a locally stored operational image or download it from the WX switch. Once the operational image is loaded, the MAP requests configuration information from WX1.
