3Com WX4400 3CRWX440095A WX1200 Affinities for Network Domain Seeds, Affinity Value Assigned To

68CHAPTER 4: WORKING WITH NETWORK PLANS

To simplify configuration, 3WXM assumes that the extent of the Network Domain is the same as extent of the entire network plan. 3WXM also automatically sets the seed affinities on each switch as described in Table 11.

Table 11 Affinities for Network Domain Seeds

Affinity Value	Assigned To...
10	The switch itself, if it is a Network Domain seed.
8	Another switch in the same Mobility Domain, if that switch is
	both a Network Domain seed and the seed switch for the
	Mobility Domain the two switches are in.
5	All switches that do not fit either of the descriptions above.

3Com recommends that you allow 3WXM to automatically assign affinity values instead of using the CLI to manually set them. Even if you do use the CLI to set them, 3WXM does not replace the affinity values it automatically sets with values set on individual switches. Thus, if you accept network changes that include Network Domain affinity changes, 3WXM ignores the affinity changes and overrides them with auto computed values. As a result, 3WXM might generate local changes.

1Select the Configuration tool bar option.

2In the Organizer panel, select the network plan name.

3In the Task List panel, select Network Domain.

4In the Network Domain Name box, type the name for the Network Domain (1 to 60 characters, with no spaces or tabs).

5Click Next.

6In the Available Devices list, select the WX switches you want to use as the Network Domain seeds.

7Click Next.

8In the Available Devices list, select the WX switches you want to use as Network Domain members.

Make sure to select the seed switch as a member. For the Network Domain to work properly, the seed must also be configured as a member.

9Click Finish.

The Network Domain configuration is included in the summary information for the network plan. To display summary information for a plan, select the Configuration tool bar option, then select the network plan name in the Organizer panel. The summary information appears in the Content panel.
