You can copy and modify a switch that is already in the network plan, by
copying and pasting the switch in the Organizer panel.
1 Select the Configuration tool bar option.
2 In the Organizer panel, select the switch you want to copy, then
right-click on the switch and select Copy.
3 Right-click and select Paste. The Wireless Switch Properties wizard
appears.
4 In the WX Name box, type the name of the WX switch (1 to 256
alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs).
Within a network plan (and all Mobility Domains), each WX must have a
unique name.
5 Type the switch's serial number in the Serial Number box.
6 To modify the system IP address and VLAN, select them from the System
VLAN/IP drop-down list.
The system IP address determines the interface or source IP address MSS
uses for system tasks, including the following:
Mobility Domain operations
Topology reporting for dual-homed MAP access points
Default source IP address used in unsolicited communications such
as AAA accounting reports and SNMP notifications
7 Click Management Interface.
8 To enable the switch to be managed by 3WXM, select Managed. Until
this option is selected, you cannot deploy the switch configuration you
create in 3WXM to the actual switch in the network.
This option also enables the Launch Telnet and Launch Browser options in
the Task List panel.
CAUTION: After you select Managed to enable management of the
switch by 3WXM, do not change this option unless advised to do so by
3Com Technical Support. If you change a WX switch to an unmanaged
state in a network plan, all network operations (polling) stop for that WX
switch. If you change back to a managed state, the entire configuration
of the switch is replaced with the settings from the network plan, which
can result in loss of connectivity to the switch.
