This example has the following configuration requirements for the MAPs:
The following sections list the configuration requirements for direct
attached MAPs and Distributed MAPs.
Local Connection Requirements When a MAP connects directly to a
WX switch's 10/100 port, the WX port must be configured as a MAP
access port, which supports MAP traffic only. There is no intermediate
networking equipment between the WX and MAP and only one MAP is

MAP1 is directly connected to the WX switch. WX1 needs port 2
configured as a directly connected MAP.
MAP2 is connected through a Layer 2 network to WX1. WX1 needs a
Distributed MAP configuration in order to boot and configure MAP2.
The Layer 2 network must provide DHCP services to MAP2.
MAP3 is connected through a Layer 3 network (Layer 2 networks
separated by IP routers) to WX1. WX1 needs a Distributed MAP
configuration in order to boot and configure MAP3. The Layer 2
network that MAP3 is attached to must provide DHCP services. The
network's DNS server must have a "3COMWX" entry pointing to any
WX in the Mobility Domain.
