Configuring Directly Connected MAP Access Points 251

Configuring	MAP access points contain radios that provide networking between your
Directly Connected	wired network and IEEE 802.11 wireless users. a MAP can connect to the
MAP Access Points	wired network through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX or
	indirectly through other Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices.
	Configure a MAP port for each directly connected MAP.
	Table 22 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.
	Table 22 Maximum MAPs Supported Per Switch
		Maximum
	WX Switch Model	Configured	Maximum Booted
	WX4400	256	24, 48, 72, or 96, depending on
			the license.
	WX1200	30	12
	WXR100	8	3

For a MAP that is indirectly connected to the WX through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network, configure a Distributed MAP instead. (See “Configuring Distributed MAP Access Points” on page 258.)

You cannot configure any gigabit Ethernet port on a WX4400, or port 7 or 8 on a WX1200, or port 1 on a WXR100, as a MAP port. To manage a MAP access point on a WX4400 switch, configure a Distributed MAP connection on the WX switch. (See “Configuring Distributed MAP Access Points” on page 258.)

To configure a To configure a directly connected MAP, use the following procedure. directly connected

MAP

1Access the WX Switch wizard for the WX switch. (See “Accessing the WX Switch Wizard” on page 187.)

2Select Wireless at the top of the wizard, if not already selected.

3Select MAP from the organizer list on the left side of the page.

4In the table, enable a port as a MAP port by selecting MAP Enabled for the port.

If a port is currently configured as a wired authentication port, you are prompted to choose whether to reconfigure the port.
