MAP Overview 199

5 The DNS server sends the system IP address of the WX switch mapped to

3com.example.com. In this example, the address is for WX1.

6 The MAP sends a unicast Find WX message to WX1.

7 WX1 receives the Find WX message and compares the bias settings on

each WX for the MAP. More than one WX has a high bias for the MAP,

so WX1 selects the WX that has the greatest capacity to add new active

MAP connections. In this example, WX1 has more capacity. WX1 sends

its own IP address in the Find WX Reply message to the MAP.

8 The MAP contacts WX1 and determines whether it should use a locally

stored operational image or download it from the WX switch. Once the

operational image is loaded, the MAP requests configuration information

from WX1.
