202CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING MAP ACCESS POINTS

After the MAP is configured with the above information, the next time the MAP boots, the following takes place:

1The MAP sends an ARP request for its own address, to ensure it is not in use elsewhere in the network.

2The DNS server resolves the fully qualified domain name of the WX switch, wxr100.

3The MAP sends a Find WX message to the WX switch WXR100.

4The WX switch WXR100 responds to the Find WX message

5The MAP sends a unicast message to the WX switch WXR100 and determines whether it should use a locally stored image or download it from the WX switch.

6Once the operational image is loaded, WX switch WXR100 sends configuration information to the MAP.

Service Profiles A service profile controls advertisement and encryption for an SSID. You can specify the following:

„Whether SSIDs that use the service profile are beaconed

„Whether the SSIDs are encrypted or clear (unencrypted)

„For encrypted SSIDs, the encryption settings to use

„The fallthru authentication method for users that are not authenticated with 802.1X or MAC authentication

Table 10 lists the parameters controlled by a service profile and their default values.
