Converting Auto DAPs into Statically Configured APs 69
Converting Auto
DAPs into Statically
Configured APs
Distributed MAPs that are not configured on any WX switches in the
Mobility Domain can nonetheless be booted and managed by a switch if
the switch has a profile for Distributed MAPs, and has capacity to
manage the MAP. A MAP that is booted and managed using a
Distributed MAP profile is here called an
Auto DAP .
You can convert the temporary connection of an Auto DAP to a WX
switch into a permanent, statically configured connection on the switch.
1 Select the Configuration tool bar option.
2 In the Organizer panel, select the WX switch.
3 In the Task List panel, select Convert Auto APs.
The Convert Auto APs wizard appears. The MAPs that were configured
using a Distribute MAP template are listed.
4 Select the MAPs you want to convert into statically configured MAPs.
5 Click Next .
6 Select the temporary connections you want to convert into static
connections.
7 Click Finish .
Creating a Network
Domain
MSS Version 4.1 allows functionality found in Mobility Domains to be
extended over a multiple-site installation, in a Network Domain. A Network
Domain is a group of geographically dispersed Mobility Domains that share
information over a WAN link. This shared information allows a user
configured in one Mobility Domain to establish connectivity on a WX switch
in a remote Mobility Domain. The WX switch forwards the user traffic by
creating a VLAN tunnel to a WX switch in the remote Mobility Domain.
In a Network Domain, one or more WX switches acts as a seed device. A
Network Domain seed stores information about all of the VLANs on the
Network Domain members. The Network Domain seeds share this
information among themselves, so that every seed has an identical database.
(For more information, see the “Configuring Network Domains” chapter
of the
Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide .)
