ETWORK
To distribute a WX configuration file:
In the main 3WXM window, select Manage > Distribute Images & 
Configuration. The Distribute Images & Configuration dialog box 
appears.
In the Mobility Domain Selection list, select the Mobility Domain of the 
WX switch or switches to which you want to distribute images. If the 
switches are not in a Mobility Domain, select None.
Select a WX or multiple WX switches. To select multiple items, press Shift 
(for contiguous items) or Control (for noncontiguous items) while 
clicking items.

Click Distribute.
The status of the download process is shown in the Status column.

Saving Versions of
Network Plans
You can save multiple versions of a network plan. After deploying a 
network plan to a WX switch, you can save a snapshot of the plan as a 
version. Create versions of the network plan on a regular basis and at 
every major baseline event for network configurations. Doing so allows 
you to have snapshots of network configurations should you need to 
revert to one of them.
If you need to roll back configuration changes, you can use a saved 
version to roll back the system software image and configuration files to 
a known state. Before you can save a version of a network plan, you need 
to deploy and save the network plan. Versions of network plans are saved 
in the db/xml/versions directory in the 3WXM installation directory. 
After you have saved a version of a network plan, the version appears in 
the list of network plans available to open. If you open a version of a 
network plan, you are asked whether you want to deploy it or open it. 
When the version is open, you see its version name in the title bar of the 
main 3WXM window.
To save a version of a network plan:
Select File > Save As.
Type a name for the plan. Make the name descriptive. For example, name 
the plan HappyVille_4_0_1.
