Resolving an Error or

Warning

For most errors and warnings, 3WXM provides a link to edit the 
configuration information that caused the error or warning. The link 
appears in the Resolutions section of the tab, under the Messages 
column. When you click the edit link, 3WXM opens the configuration 
wizard for the configuration item.

For example, if you create a new WX switch called 

newwx

 but you do not 

specify the system IP address of the WX switch, the error message 

System 

IP is not set for the mobility domain member newwx

 appears in the 

Message area. To correct the error, click on 

Edit newwx 

in the Resolutions 

section. The Modify WX switch wizard appears. Use the wizard to edit the 
System IP address. After you save the configuration change, 3WXM 
reevaluates the WX switch’s configuration. If the system IP address is 
specified, the error no longer appears in the Verification tab.

To resolve an error or warning

1

Select the error or warning message in the Message column.

2

Read the information in the Error/Warning Details section. For some 
errors and warnings, this section contains information about how to 
resolve the error or warning.

3

If an Edit option is listed in the Resolution section, click on the option to 
display the configuration wizard for the item. 

4

Edit the configuration item or resolve the network issue and save the 
change.

5

In the Verification tab, click 

Refresh

 on the tab’s toolbar. 

6

Check the messages to see whether the error or warning is gone.

Disabling a Rule from

the Message List

All 3WXM rules are enabled by default. If you want 3WXM to stop 
alerting you about a specific error or warning, you can disable the rule for 
that error or warning.
