To simplify configuration, 3WXM assumes that the extent of the Network
Domain is the same as extent of the entire network plan. 3WXM also
automatically sets the seed affinities on each switch as described in Table 11.
Domain is the same as extent of the entire network plan. 3WXM also
automatically sets the seed affinities on each switch as described in Table 11.
3Com recommends that you allow 3WXM to automatically assign affinity
values instead of using the CLI to manually set them. Even if you do use
the CLI to set them, 3WXM does not replace the affinity values it
automatically sets with values set on individual switches. Thus, if you
accept network changes that include Network Domain affinity changes,
3WXM ignores the affinity changes and overrides them with auto
computed values. As a result, 3WXM might generate local changes.
