Dual-Homed Distributed Connections to WX Switches on Both
MAP Ports

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.
