Converting Auto Daps Into Statically Configured Daps; Removing Auto Daps - 3Com WX4400 Reference Manual

Converting Auto
DAPs into Statically
Configured DAPs

Removing Auto DAPs

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.
This procedure converts Auto DAPS into configured Distributed MAPs
only on the switch you are managing. To convert Auto DAPs on a
Mobility Domain basis, see "Converting Auto DAPs into Statically
Configured APs" on page 72.
To convert an Auto DAP
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 Distributed MAP template are listed.
4 Select the MAPs you want to convert into statically configured MAPs.
5 Click Next.
6 Click Finish.
3WXM automatically updates information for an Auto DAP in the
network plan when the DAP either is converted into a configured MAP,
or reboots and then connects to a different WX.
However, if an Auto DAP leaves the network without being converted
into a statically configured MAP or connecting to a different WX, 3WXM
continues to list the DAP as a device being managed by the WX.
In this case, you can manually remove the MAP from the Auto DAP list.
This procedure does not remove an active Auto DAP. To remove an Auto
DAP that is still attached to the network, remove it from the network.
(Unplug it or power it down.) Then use this procedure to remove it from
the Auto DAP list.
