Distributing WX Configuration Files
You can distribute a complete WX configuration defined in a network
plan as a file and download it to one or more WX switches at one time.
Using this feature replaces the current configuration file on the WX. You
must reboot the WX for the configuration file to take effect.
3Com recommends that you verify the network plan before distributing
configuration files.
To distribute a WX configuration file
1 In the main 3WXM window, select Changes > Distribute Images &
Configuration. The Distribute Images & Configuration dialog box
appears.
2 In the Mobility Domain Selection list, select the Mobility Domain of the
WX switch or switches you want to distribute images to.
3 Select a WX or multiple WX switches. To select multiple items, press Shift
(for contiguous items) or Control (for noncontiguous items) while
clicking items.
4 Select Distribute Config.
5 Click Distribute.
The status of the download process is shown in the Status column.
6 Click Close to close the dialog box.
You can import or export WX switch configuration files in CLI or in
Extensible Markup Language (XML) format.
The import option enables you to create a WX switch in the network
plan by importing configuration files that were created with the CLI or
in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. You also can update
the configuration of a WX switch that is already in the plan.
The export option enables you to save a WX switch's configuration to
a CLI or XML file. Using the CLI, you can transfer a configuration file in
CLI format to a WX using TFTP. 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.
