Clone A Device

Use this task to apply the existing device-level configuration from one switch to a new switch with the same model. For example, if a switch malfunctions and you need to replace it with a new switch, this task enables you to do so and then apply the existing device-level configurations used by the previous switch.

Note

Licensing is not cloned.

Select the check box for the device in the Device List.
Select Actions.
Select Clone Device.
If the device has already been Onboarded, proceed to Step 5. Under Replacement Device, if the device is not yet Onboarded, select Quick Onboard, enter its serial number and proceed to Step 6.

Note
After you select Clone in Step 6, ExtremeCloud IQ waits 30 seconds for the device to be onboarded. If it is not onboarded within that time period, Extreme Cloud IQ manually creates the device. This enables the device to be onboarded through the clone process.
Under Replacement Serial Number, select the appropriate device serial number.
For the Device OS, choose Switch Engine or Fabric Engine before you can onboard a Universal Hardware Switch.
Select Clone.
On the next dialogue select Yes.
Select Perform Update to push the configuration to all selected cloned devices.
