Setting a Port for a Directly Connected MAP

Before configuring a port as a MAP access port, you must use the set system countrycode command to set the IEEE 802.11 country-specific regulations on the WX switch. (See “Specifying the Country of Operation” on page 213.)

Some MSS features that work with directly connected MAPs require a port number to be specified. For this purpose, you can optionally specify the port number attached to a directly connected MAP.

To set a port for a MAP, use the following command:

set port type ap port-list

model {2330 2330A AP2750 AP3150 AP3750 mp-52 mp-241 mp-252 mp-262 mp-341 mp-352 mp-372 mp-372-CN mp-372-JP mp422 mp620} poe {enable disable} [radiotype {11a 11b 11g}]

You must specify a port list of one or more port numbers, the MAP model number, and the PoE state. (For details about port lists, see “Port Lists” on page 32.)

MAP models AP2750, MP-241, and MP-341 have a single radio that can be configured for 802.11b/g. Other MAP models have two radios. On two-radio models, one radio is always 802.11a. The other radio is 802.11b/g, but can be configured for 802.11b or 802.11g exclusively. If the country of operation specified by the set system countrycode command does not allow 802.11g, the default is 802.11b.

Models MP-52, MP-241, MP-252, MP-262, MP-341, and MP-352 have been discontinued but are still supported by the command.
