Configuration
41
Using the default Mobility Domain or one you create, add a WX switch to 
the network plan that is a member or seed device of the Mobility 
Domain. You can then configure that WX, or you can just add it to the 
network plan, and configure it later. After you configure the WX switch 
and verify its configuration, you can deploy it to the network.
You can create the following types of WX switches:
„
WX4400—Provides four dual-interface gigabit Ethernet ports. Each 
port has a 1000BASE-TX copper interface and a Gigabit interface 
converter (GBIC) slot for insertion of a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX 
fiber-optic interface. 
„
WX1200—Provides eight 10/100 Ethernet ports, six of which support 
PoE.
„
WXR100—Provides two 10/100 Ethernet ports, one of which supports 
PoE.
You perform the following tasks to create and initially configure a WX 
switch:
„
Configure basic WX switch properties.
„
Configure WX switch connection information.
„
Configure boot information.
Configure Basic WX Switch Properties
To configure basic WX switch properties, you specify a name, select a 
model, select its location by wiring closet, and select the Mobility System 
Software (MSS) you want to run on the switch. Optionally, you can select 
an MSS image to download when you deploy changes to the WX. 
You also can specify if the switch is managed. A WX switch that is 
physically installed as well as configured can be managed. You can 
deploy configuration changes only to managed devices, and 3WXM 
periodically checks the managed WX switches in the network for 
changes. You also can fully configure a switch without it being physically 
installed (unmanaged). Having an unmanaged device in your network 
plan may be useful for predeployment purposes.
