7 The WX that receives the Find WX request determines the best WX for
the MAP to use, based on the bias settings for the MAP on each switch. If
more than one switch has high bias for the MAP or all switches have the
same bias, the WX suggests the switch that has the highest capacity to
add new active MAP connections.
8 MAP sends a unicast message to the switch to request a software image
and configuration. If the MAP does not receive a reply after 10 seconds,
the MAP reboots and starts the boot process over at step 1.
If a MAP does not receive a reply to a DNS request or a request for a
system image and configuration after one minute, the MAP starts the
boot process over with a new DHCP Discover message.
The following figures show MAP boot examples:
