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. If you are connecting
the MP directly to an MX switch, use the following procedure to insert the cable
into the MX switch and verify the link.
You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP connection. If you are
installing the MP-422 as a Mesh AP in a WLAN Mesh or wireless bridge
configuration, you must configure the MP connection before deploying the MP in
its final location. (See the Trapeze Mobility System Software Configuration Guide
or the Trapeze RingMaster User’s Guide.)
Figure 36 shows how to insert a Cat 5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on an MX
