Configuration Files

You can import or export switch configuration files in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format.

„The import option enables you to create a WX switch in the network plan by importing configuration files in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. You also can update the configuration of a switch that is already in the plan.

„The export option enables you to save a switch’s configuration to an XML file. After exporting a WX configuration to an XML file, you can import it to another instance of 3WXM or use it as a backup copy.

If you import a configuration containing information that an older version of 3WXM or MSS does not support, the information is ignored when the configuration is imported.
