Configuring Directly Connected MAP Access Points 253

6In 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.

7If you are configuring dual-homing support, in the Bias list, select High or Low.

Bias is the priority of one WX connection over other WX connections to a single MAP for booting, configuration, and data transfer. You can set a Distributed MAP’s bias to be low or high. A configuration with a high bias has priority over a configuration for the same MAP with low bias. The default is High.

If the bias for all connections is the same, the MAP selects the WX switch that has the greatest capacity to add more active MAPs. For example, if a MAP is dual homed to two WX4400 switches, and one of the WX switches has 50 active MAPs while the other WX switch has 60 active MAPs, the new MAP selects the WX switch that has only 50 active MAPs.

Bias applies only to WX switches that are indirectly attached to the MAP through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. A MAP always attempts to boot on MAP port 1 first, and if the MAP is directly attached to a WX switch on MAP port 1, it boots from that WX switch regardless of the bias settings.

8In the Enable Blink list, select Yes to enable LED blink mode or No to disable it.

Blink mode enables you to visually identify a MAP. When blink mode is enabled on an AP2750, AP7250, AP8250, or AP8750, the 11a LED blinks on and off. When blink mode is enabled on other models (AP3750 and MAP-xxx), the health and radio LEDs alternately blink green and amber. By default, blink mode is disabled.

9In the Enable Firmware Update list, select Yes to automatically upgrade MAP boot firmware. The upgrade version of the firmware is loaded from a WX when the MAP is booting.
