Deployment

What is deployment?: Sending the WX configuration information in the

 

3WXM network plan to your WX switch.

 

Purpose of this section: To describe how changes are made to 3WXM and

 

deployed to your network.

 

Why is this important?: To understand best practices for sending and

 

deploying configurations to your WX.

 

Configuration changes are collected in 3WXM when you save them, but

 

are not applied to WX switches until you send the changes to your

 

network. Any changes you make to your network in 3WXM are saved,

 

but not applied to your network until they are deployed. This method

 

makes it easy to apply configurations simultaneously to multiple WX

 

switches, or you can deploy changes to a single WX switch.

 

 

Management and

Purpose of this section: To provide an overview of the management and

Monitoring

monitoring capabilities offered in 3WXM.

 

Why is this important?: Understanding the management and monitoring tools

 

available in 3WXM can help you to quickly identify and correct problems in

 

your wireless network, as well as to provide you with the statistics and

 

reporting information you need to optimize your network.

This section talks about the following management and monitoring features:
