To Migrate a Platform Configuration

To migrate a platform configuration, both the Source controller model and software and the Destination controller model and software must support the migration as described in Configuration Migration Table.

  1. Log on to the Source controller.
  2. Export the controller configuration to a file by running the following CLI command.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com# export configuration
    Filename (EWC.extremenetworks.com.13062007.132046):

    Backup/Export complete.
  3. Use the show export command to list the current set of backup files.
  4. Copy the file to an external FTP or SCP server by running the copy configuration command.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com#copy configuration to-remote server IP 
    username destination directory [ftp password 
    | scp password] from-local filename
  5. Log on to the Destination controller.
  6. Install the Permanent License Activation key.
  7. Retrieve the configuration file from the external FTP or SCP server by running the copy configuration command.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com#copy configuration to-remote server IP 
    username destination directory [ftp 
    password | scp password] 
    from-local filename
  8. Type the password.
  9. Use the show import command to list the current set of backup files, which will include the retrieved configuration file.
  10. Import the configuration by running the import filename command.
    After the import process is completed, the wireless controller will reboot.
    Note

    Note

    The Management IP address will be identical to that of the controller from where the configuration is migrated.
