346 CHAPTER 10: MANAGING WX SYSTEM IMAGES AND CONFIGURATIONS
Devices Tab The Devices tab allows you to manage configuration changes for WX
switches in the network plan.
To access the Devices tab, do one of the following:
Select the Devices tool bar option.
In the Alerts panel, click on Local Changes or Network Changes.
The managed switches and unmanaged switches are listed separately.
Managed switches can be deployed to the network and can be
monitored by 3WXM Services. Unmanaged switches can be configured in
3WXM but cannot be deployed to the network or monitored by 3WXM
Services. (See “Enabling or Disabling Management of a Switch by
3WXM” on page 357.)
Synchronize
local and
network
changes
Compares switch configurations in the network with their
counterparts in the network plan, and enables you to review the
differences, and either deploy the new changes to synchronize the
configurations, or undo the changes.
(See “Synchronizing Local and Network Changes” on page 350.)
Save image in
repository
Adds a WX system image to a repository. When you distribute
images and configuration files, you can select an image from the
repository.
(See “Using the Image Repository” on page 354.)
Distribute
System Images
Applies software images to WX switches and optionally reboots the
switches to place the new images into effect.
(See “Distributing System Images” on page 354.)
Export
configuration
Saves the configuration of a WX switch in the network plan into a
file. You can save the configuration in XML format.
(See “Importing and Exporting Switch Configuration Files” on
page 359.)
Import
configuration
Creates a new WX switch in a network plan, by copying a switch
configuration file stored on a server.
(See “Importing and Exporting Switch Configuration Files” on
page 359.)
