MAP Overview 201
1 MAP sends a DHCP Discover message from the MAP’s port 1.
2 Because WX1 is configured for direct attachment, WX1 responds
privately to the MAP and provides the MAP with its operational image (or
indicates that the MAp should use a locally stored image) and
configuration from WX1. Only in the event of a physical port failure
would the MAP attempt to boot from its port 2, in which case both WX1
and WX2 would respond to the broadcast Find WX message.
