Importing And Exporting Switch Configuration Files - 3Com WX1200 Reference Manual

Importing and
Exporting Switch
Configuration Files
You can import or export switch configuration files in Extensible Markup
Language (XML) format.
The import option enables you to create a WX switch in the network
plan by importing configuration files in Extensible Markup Language
(XML) format. You also can update the configuration of a switch that
is already in the plan.
The export option enables you to save a switch's configuration to an
XML file. After exporting a WX configuration to an XML file, you can
import it to another instance of 3WXM or use it as a backup copy.
If you import a configuration containing information that an older version
of 3WXM or MSS does not support, the information is ignored when the
configuration is imported.
If you import a switch configuration, you must enable 3WXM
management of the switch before you can deploy the switch to the
network. (To enable 3WXM management of a switch, see "Modifying
Basic Switch Parameters" on page 172.)
To import a configuration
1 In the main 3WXM window, select File > Import. The Import
Configurations dialog box appears.
2 In the Import Into Mobility Domain group box, select one of the following
options:
Click Use File Info to import the configuration information using the
Mobility Domain specified in the configuration file.
Click Select to specify a Mobility Domain to import configuration
information to. Then select the Mobility Domain from the list.
3 To replace existing WX switch information in 3WXM with information
from the configuration file, select Update existing WXs.
4 Click Select Files. The Select Files To Import dialog box appears.
5 Select one or more configuration files to be imported. To make multiple
selections, press Shift (for contiguous items) or Control (for
noncontiguous items) while clicking items.
6 Click Select Files To Import. The file or files you selected appear in the
File Import Results list.
To remove all the files you previously selected, click Clear Files.
