MAP Overview 201

1MAP sends a DHCP Discover message from the MAP’s port 1.

Example Boot of MAP with Static IP Configuration

2Because WX1 is configured for direct attachment, WX1 responds privately to the MAP and provides the MAP with its operational image (or indicates that the MAp should use a locally stored image) and configuration from WX1. Only in the event of a physical port failure would the MAP attempt to boot from its port 2, in which case both WX1 and WX2 would respond to the broadcast Find WX message.

Figure 17 shows an example of the boot process for a MAP configured with static IP information. In the example, the MAP has been configured to use the following:

„Static IP address: 172.16.0.42, netmask: 255.255.255.0, default router 172.16.0.20

„Boot WX switch: wxr100, DNS server: 172.16.0.1
