Figure 12 shows an example of a dual-homed configuration 

in which both MAP connections are distributed over the network. 

Figure 12   Dual-homed Distributed Connections to WX Switches on Both MAP 
Ports

In this configuration, the MAP first attempts to boot on its port 1. If more 
than one WX has high bias or if all WX switches have the same bias, the 
MAP uses the WX that has the greatest capacity for new active MAP 
connections.
