HP Manager Software manual Creating and Managing Network Plans

Creating and Managing Network Plans 85

You can open a network plan created in a previous version of 3WXM with a later version of 3WXM. For example, if you created a network plan in 3WXM Version 2.1, you can open the plan in 3WXM Version 4.0. However, because a network plan created in 3WXM Version 2.1 manages WX switches running MSS Version 2.1, you cannot use new features available in MSS Version 4.0 unless you upgrade the WX to MSS Version 4.0.

To open a network plan:

1Establish a connection to the 3WXM Services host on which the network plan is saved.

You can do this by restarting 3WXM or selecting File > Open, and then entering the IP address of the 3WXM Services host in the 3WXM Services Connection dialog box.

2After the connection is established with the 3WXM Services host, select File > Switch Network Plan.

If any changes were made to the currently loaded network plan, you are prompted to save them and close the file. The Switch Network Plan dialog box appears.

3Select the network plan you want to open and click Next.

3WXM establishes a connection to the host running 3WXM Services and loads the specified network plan.
