ONFIGURATIONS

You can deploy changes immediately or schedule them to be deployed 
later.

When you deploy changes to a WX, all of the changes are sent as a single 
transaction. If any parameter is unsuccessfully changed, the entire 
transaction is rolled back. If the transaction is successful, the 
configuration changes are immediately and dynamically put into effect. 
(A reboot is not required.) 

The following procedures provide steps for deploying configuration 
changes from the Devices tab. You also can immediately deploy changes 
from the Configuration tab, by clicking Deploy. 

1 Select the Devices tool bar option.

2 At the bottom of the Task List panel, select Change Management. 

3 Select one or more WX switches. 

To select multiple switches, press Shift (for contiguous switches) or 
Control (for noncontiguous switches) while clicking.

4 In the Local Changes group in the Task List panel, click Deploy. The 

Deploy Configurations dialog box appears.

The dialog lists the switches that have configuration changes.

5 Select the switches to which you want to deploy the changes. 

To select more than one WX, click Shift while clicking to select 
contiguous items, or click Ctrl while clicking to select noncontiguous 
items.

6 Click Deploy.

The deployment status for each affected WX is shown in the History 
window at the bottom left of the dialog box. 

3WXM performs verification of the changes. If errors occur, they are listed 
in the Selected Errors at the bottom right of the dialog box. If there are 
errors, fix them and verify the changes before trying to deploy again. (You 
can use the Verification tab to fix the errors. See “” on page 363.)

If the deploy is successful, 3WXM also instructs the WX switch to save the 
changes in its configuration file.

7 Click Close.
