Creating and
Managing Network
Plans
A network plan is the workspace in 3WXM you use to design a 3Com
network. In a network plan, you define components of the network (WX
switches, MAP access points, and optionally third-party access points).
You must create a network plan before you can configure or manage WX
switches or monitor network data.
A network plan allows modular management of large networks based on
organizational or geographical boundaries. For example, a network plan
can represent a campuswide network. You also can define a physical
representation of the network (sites, buildings, and floors). In this case,
you can import drawings of your floor plans into the network plan or
draw plan details manually. You can then identify the RF characteristics by
identifying RF objects.
3Com recommends that you limit a network plan to a single campus or
Mobility Domain.
Different countries have different regulatory limits for 802.11 radios.
Setting the country code in the network plan automatically enforces the
appropriate regulatory limits for all configured radios. The greatest
geographical scope for a network plan is a country, because a network
plan is based on one specific country code.
Creating a Network
Plan
3WXM gives you two ways to create a new network plan:
■ Each time you start 3WXM — In the wizard that appears, click Create
a new network plan, and then click Next.
■ While 3WXM is open — In the main 3WXM window, select
File > New.
