3com WXR100 3CRWXR10095A User Manual

To configure a MAP model MP-372 with serial-ID 0322199999, type the 
following command:

WX# set ap 1 serial-id 0322199999 model mp-372
success: change accepted.

(To specify the external antenna type, use the set ap radio antennatype 
command. See “Configuring the External Antenna Model and Location” 
on page 247.)

By default, Distributed MAPs use the procedure described in “How a 
Distributed MAP Obtains an IP Address through DHCP” on page 189 to 
obtain an IP address and connect to a WX switch. In some installations, 
DHCP may not be available. In such a case, you can manually assign static 
IP address information to the MAP.

You can also optionally specify the WX switch the Distributed MAP uses 
as its boot device, and an 802.1Q VLAN tag to be applied to Ethernet 
frames emitted from the distributed MAP.

When you configure static IP information for a Distributed MAP, it uses 
the boot procedure described in “How a Distributed MAP Contacts a WX 
Switch (Statically Configured Address)” on page 193 instead of the 
default boot procedure.

To specify static IP address information for 

a Distributed MAP, use the following command:

set ap apnumber boot-ip ip ip-addr netmask mask-addr gateway 
gateway-addr [mode {enable | disable}] 

To configure Distributed MAP 1 to use IP address 172.16.0.42 with a 
24-bit netmask, and use 172.16.0.20 as its default router (gateway), type 
the following command:

WX1200# set ap 1 boot-ip ip 172.16.0.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 
gateway 172.16.0.20 mode enable 
success: change accepted.

The next time the Distributed MAP is booted, it will use the specified IP 
information. If the manually assigned IP information is incorrect, the MAP 
uses DHCP to obtain its IP address, as described in “How a Distributed 
MAP Obtains an IP Address through DHCP” on page 189.
