Saving Versions of Network Plans

You can save multiple versions of a network plan in WMS. After deploying a network plan to a WSS, you can save a
snapshot of the plan as a version. Create versions of the network plan on a regular basis and at every major baseline
event for network configurations. Doing so allows you to have snapshots of network configurations should you need to
revert to one of them.
If you need to roll back configuration changes, you can use a saved version to roll back the system software image and
configuration files to a known state. Before you can save a version of a network plan, you need to deploy and save the
network plan. Versions of network plans are saved in the db/xml/versions directory in the WMS installation directory.
After you have saved a version of a network plan, the version appears in the list of network plans available to open. If
you open a version of a network plan, you are asked whether you want to deploy it or open it. When the version is open,
the version name is displayed in the title bar of the main WMS window.
To save a version of a network plan:
1
Select Services > Plan Management. The WLAN Management Software Services Plan Management
page is displayed in a browser window.
2
In the left-hand column of the page, click Save As. The Save As Network Plan page is displayed.
3
In the Network Plan Name field, type a name for the plan. Make the name descriptive. For example, name
the plan Pleasanton_campus.
4
Click Save.
Saving Network Plans Automatically
By default, WMS uses the autosave feature to automatically save changes to a network plan at regular intervals while
you are working.
To view or modify backup settings, select Services > Backup & Restore to display the Backup & Restore page in a
