If 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 the
bias for a Distributed MAP 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 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 switches has 50
active MAPs while the other switch has 60 active MAPs, the new MAP
selects the 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 switch regardless of the
bias settings.
9
To force the MAP to always download its software image from the WX
switch instead of loading the image that is locally stored on the MAP,
select
Force Image Download
. By default, the MAP loads its locally
stored image unless the WX has a newer one.
A change to this option takes place the next time the MAP is restarted.
10
In the Enable Blink list, select
Yes
to enable LED blink mode or
No
to
disable it.
When blink mode is enabled, the health and radio LEDs alternately blink
green and amber, allowing you to visually identify a MAP. By default,
blink mode is disabled.
11
In 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.
Select
No
to disable automatic firmware upgrading. Automatic firmware
upgrading is enabled by default.
12
To add the MAP to a session load-balancing group, enter the group name
in the Load Balance Group box.
