72CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING AND MANAGING PORTS AND VLANS

All WX switch ports are network ports by default. You must set the port type for ports directly connected to MAP access ports and to wired user stations that must be authenticated to access the network. When you change port type, MSS applies default settings appropriate for the port type. Table 5 lists the default settings applied for each port type. For example, the MAP column lists default settings that MSS applies when you change a port type to ap (MAP).

Table 6 lists how many MAPs you can configure on a WX switch, and how many MAPs a switch can boot. The numbers are for directly connected and Distributed MAPs combined.
