Uploading a WX Switch Configuration into 3WXM 325

Uploading a WX	If you have already installed and configured a WX, you can upload its
Switch	configuration into 3WXM. You must first set the country code using the
Configuration into	set system countrycode command in the CLI. For more information
3WXM	about this and other CLI commands, see the Wireless LAN Switch and
	Controller Command Reference.
	After you upload a WX configuration, the WX becomes a member of the
	Mobility Domain specified in the configuration. If this Mobility Domain is
	not defined in 3WXM, uploading the WX configuration creates the
	Mobility Domain. If no Mobility Domain is specified in the configuration,
	the WX is uploaded into the top (root) level in the Equipment area of the
	Organizer panel.
	When you upload a WX configuration, the version of the MSS system
	image is preserved. For example, if you upload a configuration for a WX
	running MSS Version 3.2, only Version 3.2 features are available for that
	WX switch in 3WXM. To use a later MSS version, you must upgrade the
	MSS system image before uploading the WX configuration to 3WXM.

3Com recommends that you manage a WX with a version of 3WXM that supports all the features available in the MSS version running on the WX. Keep the following in mind when managing WX switches:

„Managing — You can manage WX switches running their original MSS versions with any version of 3WXM. For example, you can use 3WXM Version 4.0 to manage a WX running MSS Version 3.1.

„Deploying — If you are using a later version of 3WXM to manage a WX running an older version of MSS, you cannot successfully deploy a configuration unless you upgrade the MSS version on the WX. 3Com recommends that you use the Distribute Images & Configuration option to upgrade the MSS version and WX configuration in one process, as described in “Distributing Image and Configuration Files” on page 340.

After you upgrade the MSS version and WX configuration, you can deploy a configuration created with a later version of 3WXM. For example, if you upgrade the WX to MSS Version 4.0, you can deploy a configuration created in 3WXM Version 3.1.

„You can use the CLI to upgrade the MSS version on a WX.

During the upload, 3WXM allows you to apply changes from policies to the WX switch. By default, all applicable policies are applied to the switch. You can prevent individual policies from being applied to the switch.
