Connecting an MP to an MX Switch
You can connect an MP access point directly to an MX switch or indirectly to the
switch through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
● To connect the MP directly to an MX switch, configure the MX switch port as
an MP access port and use the following procedure to insert the cable into the
MX switch and verify the link.
● To connect the MP indirectly to an MX switch though the network, configure
a Distributed MP connection on the MX switch.
You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP access port or Distributed
MP connection. (See the Trapeze Mobility System Software Configuration Guide
or the Trapeze RingMaster Reference Manual.)
