13	CONFIGURING AND APPLYING
	POLICIES

A policy is a set of WX configuration parameters that you can define once in 3WXM and then apply to multiple WX switches. When you apply a policy to a set of WX switches, all parameter settings in the policy are applied to the switches and update the settings already on the switches.

How Changes Are When you create a new policy, none of the policy’s settings are applied to

ManagedWX switches (even the ones you associate with the policy when you create it), until you explicitly apply the policy to the switches.

After you associate a new policy with a switch, all new switches (switches you create using the WX Switch wizard or switches you upload) that match the WX model and version number of the policy automatically receive the parameter settings in the policy.

However, after you have associated a policy with at least one switch, any changes you later make to the policy are not automatically applied to any switches. To apply the changes you make to a policy to the switches associated with that policy, you must explicitly reapply the policy to the switches.

Policies Created When you open a 3.x network plan in 3WXM 4.1, 3WXM automatically When You Migrate a creates a policy for each Mobility Domain in the plan. The policy contains

3.x Network Plan all the parameter settings that were in the Domain Policies for the to 4.1 Mobility Domain in 3.x.

To avoid unintended configuration changes, 3WXM does not automatically apply the Mobility Domain policy to new switches or to switches that already exist in the plan. However, you can use the Policy Manager to apply the parameter settings in the Mobility Domain policy to switches.
