A policy is a set of WX configuration parameters that you can define once
in 3WXM and then apply to multiple WX switches. When you apply a
policy to a set of WX switches, all parameter settings in the policy are
applied to the switches and update the settings already on the switches.
How Changes Are
Managed
When you create a new policy, none of the policy’s settings are applied to
WX switches (even the ones you associate with the policy when you
create it), until you explicitly apply the policy to the switches.
After you associate a new policy with a switch, all new switches (switches
you create using the WX Switch wizard or switches you upload) that
match the WX model and version number of the policy automatically
receive the parameter settings in the policy.
However, after you have associated a policy with at least one switch, any
changes you later make to the policy are
not automatically applied to any
switches. To apply the changes you make to a policy to the switches
associated with that policy, you must explicitly reapply the policy to the
switches.
Policies Created
When You Migrate a
3. x Network Plan
to 4.1
When you open a 3. x network plan in 3WXM 4.1, 3WXM automatically
creates a policy for each Mobility Domain in the plan. The policy contains
all the parameter settings that were in the Domain Policies for the
Mobility Domain in 3.
x .
To avoid unintended configuration changes, 3WXM does not
automatically apply the Mobility Domain policy to new switches or to
switches that already exist in the plan. However, you can use the Policy
Manager to apply the parameter settings in the Mobility Domain policy to
switches.
