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 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 179.)
To import a configuration
1 In the main 3WXM window, select Tools > 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.

selections, press Shift (for contiguous items) or Control (for
noncontiguous items) while clicking items.
