*MSS generates a log message listing the MAP serial number and fingerprint so you can verify the MAP’s identity. (See “Fingerprint Log Message” on page 233.)

Verifying a MAP Fingerprint on a WX Switch

To verify a MAP fingerprint, find the fingerprint and use the set ap fingerprint command to enter the fingerprint in MSS.

Finding the Fingerprint A MAP fingerprint is listed on a label on the back of the MAP. (See “Encryption Key Fingerprint” on page 230.)

If the MAP is already installed and operating, use the display ap status command to display the fingerprint. The following example shows information for Distributed MAP 8, including its fingerprint:
