56CHAPTER 4: WORKING WITH NETWORK PLANS

3Com recommends that you regularly back up the config-db directory so that you have additional copies of your network plans.

(In addition to this section, see “Managing Network Plans” on page 503.)

If the plan has unsaved changes and 3WXM Services becomes unavailable before the changes are saved, 3WXM client buffers the changes until 3WXM Services becomes available again. However, for the changes to be buffered, you must leave your 3WXM client session open and leave the network plan open.

Saving a Network Plan with a New Name

You can save a network plan with a new name by using the Save As feature.

To save a network plan with a new name:

1In the main 3WXM window, select File > Save As. The Save As Network Plan wizard appears.

2In Specify Plan Name, type a new network plan name.

Optionally, you can select an existing network plan name to replace it.

3Click Next. You see the status of the save process.

4Click Finish.

Opening a Network Network plans reside on a host running 3WXM Services. You can open Plan an existing network plan by connecting to the 3WXM Services host

where the plan resides, selecting File > Switch Network Plan, then specifying the plan’s name in the dialog. The network plan is then opened in the 3WXM main window.

You can open a network plan created in a previous version of 3WXM with a later version of 3WXM. For example, if you created a network plan in 3WXM Version 4.0, you can open the plan in 3WXM Version 4.1. However, because a network plan created in 3WXM Version 4.0 manages WX switches running MSS Version 4.0, you cannot use new features available in MSS Version 4.1 unless you upgrade the WX switches to MSS Version 4.1. (To upgrade WX switches, see “Distributing System Images” on page 354.)
