Configuring and Applying Policies 345

Configuring and	The Policies section of the Organizer panel allows you to set configuration
Applying Policies	parameters that you define once in 3WXM and then apply to multiple
	WX switches.
	When you apply a policy to a set of WX switches, all parameter settings in
	the policy are applied to the switches and override the settings already on
	the switches.
	By default, 3WXM applies all applicable policies to a switch’s
	configuration when you upload the configuration into a network plan, or
	when you create a new switch using the WX Switch wizard.
How Changes Are	After you associate a new policy with a switch, all new switches (switches
Managed	you create using the WX Switch wizard or switches you upload)
	automatically receive the parameter settings in the policy. The policy
	settings also are applied automatically to any existing switches you
	associate with the policy.
	However, after you have associated a policy with at least one switch, any
	changes you later make to the policy are not automatically applied to
	new or existing switches. To apply the changes you make to a policy to
	the switches associated with that policy, use the Policy Manager.

Policies Created When you open a 3.x network plan in 3WXM 4.0, 3WXM automatically When You Migrate a creates a policy for each Mobility Domain in the plan. The policy contains 3.x Network Plan to all the parameter settings that were in the Domain Policies for the

4.0Mobility Domain in 3.x.

To avoid unintended configuration changes, 3WXM does not automatically apply the Mobility Domain policy to new switches or to switches that already exist in the plan. However, you can use the Policy Manager to apply the parameter settings in the Mobility Domain policy to switches.
