3com 3CRWXR10095A User Manual

You can import or export switch configuration files in Extensible Markup 
Language (XML) format. 

„

The import option enables you to create a WX switch in the network 
plan by importing configuration files in Extensible Markup Language 
(XML) format. You also can update the configuration of a switch that 
is already in the plan.

„

The export option enables you to save a switch’s configuration to an 
XML file. After exporting a WX configuration to an XML file, you can 
import it to another instance of 3WXM or use it as a backup copy.

If you import a configuration containing information that an older version 
of 3WXM or MSS does not support, the information is ignored when the 
configuration is imported.

If you import a switch configuration, you must enable 3WXM 
management of the switch before you can deploy the switch to the 
network. (To enable 3WXM management of a switch, see “Modifying 
Basic Switch Parameters” on page 170.)

information to. Then select the Mobility Domain from the list.
