Create Your MAPs 101

5In the Fingerprint box, type the 16-digit hexadecimal number of the MAP’s encryption fingerprint. Use either of the following formats:

„11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00

„1122:3344:5566:7788:99aa:bbcc:ddee:ff00

A MAP’s fingerprint is the hash value of the MAP’s public encryption key. The fingerprint is displayed on a label on the back of the MAP, and is labeled RSA key. If the MAP is already installed and operating, use the CLI command display dap status command to display the fingerprint.

The fingerprint is used for secure communication between the WX switch and the MAP, and applies only to Distributed MAPs.

6Click Next.

7Select the MAP model from the MAP Model list.

8To select the radio type for a single-radio model, click the MAP Radio Type box and select the radio type from the list:

„11a—802.11a

„11b—802.11b only

„11g—802.11b/g

9Click Next.

10Configure the radios:

a To enable the radio, select Enabled.

b In the Radio Profile list, select the profile to which the radio belongs. c In the Channel Number list, select the channel number for the radio.

If RF Auto-Tuning for channel configuration is enabled, setting this value has no effect. The channel number is controlled by RF Auto-Tuning.

d In the Transmit Power box, specify the transmit power for the radio.

If RF Auto-Tuning for power configuration is enabled, setting this value has no effect. The power level is controlled by RF Auto-Tuning.

e If the MAP has two radios, click Next and go to step 10. Otherwise, go to step 11.

11Click Finish.
