Figure 13 shows an example of a MAP with a single physical 

link to a network containing three WX switches. 

Figure 13   Single-homed Connection to Multiple WX Switches on One MAP Port

In this configuration, the MAP sends a boot request on its connected 
port. WX switches in the same subnet respond to the MAP. WX switches 
with high bias for the MAP respond immediately, whereas WX switches 
with low bias for the MAP respond after a brief delay. 

If the switches are in another subnet, the MAP uses DNS to locate one of 
the switches, and asks the switch to send the IP address of the best WX 
to use, based on the bias settings on each switch and the capacity of 
each switch to add new active MAP connections. The MAP then requests 
its image and configuration files from the best WX.
