Page 29: Overview
3WXM. Planning your wireless network is highly recommended because it not only helps you configure and deploy it, but also aids in scaling and monitoring your network. 3Com provides you with flexible tools to assist with network planning.
Page 30: Planning And Managing Your Wireless Network With 3Wxm
2: P HAPTER LANNING AND Which Services To A service is a concept (not a selectable item in the 3WXM interface) that Provide? represents a set of options you configure and deploy on your wireless network. You configure services to support the different levels of network access you need to provide.
Page 31: Network Plan
Network Plan A network plan is the workspace in 3WXM you use to design a wireless network. You can better manage and visualize your network topology by creating a detailed and accurate network plan. You can start by creating a device-oriented (WX switches and MAPs) view of your network without any geographic information about your site—no floor dimensions, building material information, or RF obstacle information.
Page 32: Rf Auto-Tuning
Each of these methods is described in the sections that follow. RF Auto-Tuning To use the RF Auto-Tuning technique: This is a great way to install a WX switch and some MAPs, and observe how the network operates. The RF Auto-Tuning plan is best suited to networks containing fewer MAPs.
Page 33: Rf Planning
If the network contains third-party APs, you can enter information for these APs so that 3WXM takes the APs into account when calculating the placement (and optionally, the channel and power settings) of the 3Com MAPs. By using this technique, you receive these substantial benefits: Instead of you making a “best guess”...
Page 34 2: P HAPTER LANNING AND Use the RF Auto-Tuning with Modelling technique if you want to better monitor your wireless network in terms of buildings, floors, or coverage areas. You may only be able to locate inaccurate or incomplete building and floor plans (perhaps only a JPEG file), but with even a bit more geographic modelling of your site, you boost your ability to manage and visualize your network.
Page 35: Configuration
Configuration This section describes the main areas of the 3Com network (WX switch and MAPs) you will configure in 3WXM. It provides you with overview information about the software so that you can plan a configuration to support the services you require.
Page 36: Wireless Configuration
2: P HAPTER LANNING AND This section contains information about: Wireless Wireless configuration focuses on the configuration tasks (radio Configuration configuration and AAA configuration) you do to deliver the virtual wireless services you want to provide on your network. You enable the MAPs to operate according to your planned RF coverage requirements.
Page 37 You must configure a radio profile to set attributes that you can apply to multiple radios. Rather than configuring each radio individually, you create a radio profile and apply it to multiple radios that you select. You can also create a radio profile as part of a domain policy and apply it to MAP access points on different WX switches.
Page 38: Aaa Security Configuration
Authentication is the method of determining whether a user is allowed access to your network. Users can be authenticated by a RADIUS server (pass-through) or by the WX switch local database (local). The WX switch can also assist the RADIUS server by performing the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) processing for the server (offload).
Page 39 Figure 8 Authentication Flowchart for Network Users Client associates with 3Com radio or requests access from wired authentication port Client requests 802.1X rule that encrypted SSID? matches SSID? MAC rule that matches SSID? Use fallthru authentication last-resort? web? none? Client responds to 802.1X?
Page 40: Authorization
These attributes are compared to the information contained in a local database or on a RADIUS server for a given user and the result is returned to the WX switch to determine the user’s actual capabilities and restrictions.
Page 41: Configure Basic Wx Switch Properties
Using the default Mobility Domain or one you create, add a WX switch to the network plan that is a member or seed device of the Mobility Domain. You can then configure that WX, or you can just add it to the network plan, and configure it later.
Page 42: Configure Wx Switch Connection Information
Remember the port number you used. You will need to know this when performing the initial setup of the switch. 4 Connect a serial interface to the console port of the WX switch to access the console’s CLI for initial setup.

Page 44: Management And Monitoring
Network Status 3WXM provides summary status on devices in the network at the mobility domain, switch or MAP level. View the summary status as the initial step in monitoring. Summary status displays the operational status of WX switches, MAP access points, and their radios (whether they are up or down).
Page 45: Rf Monitoring
You can display a topology view of your network, including the state and relationship of devices. You can right-mouse click on a device in the topology to display the status of that device. The display can include the wired network, third-party APs, and rogue access points (access points that are not authorized to operate in your network).
Page 46: Client Monitoring
You can use RF countermeasures to deny service to or from a targeted rogue AP, and render them ineffective. Once a rogue AP is detected and reported, the closest 3Com MAP is assigned to perform RF countermeasures. By spoofing various 802.11 control messages, the MAP’s countermeasures disrupt association and authentication attempts...

Page 125: Model Rf Obstacles
Model RF Obstacles When planning a 3Com network, you need to consider how the building layout and physical objects affect signal loss. Walls, windows, and doors absorb RF signals, and different building materials have different attenuation factors. You can model an RF obstacle on your floor plan and assign the obstacle type and attenuation factor, or you can assign an obstacle type and attenuation factor to objects in a DWG or DXF drawing.
