Connecting an MP to an MX Switch
You can connect an MP access point directly to an MX switch or indirectly to the
switch through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
●
To connect the MP directly to an MX switch, configure the MX switch port as
an MP access port and use the following procedure to insert the cable into the
MX switch and verify the link.
●
To connect the MP indirectly to an MX switch though the network, configure
a Distributed MP connection on the MX switch.
Note.
If the MP is installed in a Trapeze Networks outdoor MP
enclosure, attach the antenna cable to the lightning surge arrestor (if
installed) or the enclosure’s SMA bulkhead connector.
