Separate locations in ExtremeClould IQ Pilot. (Campus setup).

Would like the new location to have their own logins and be able to manage their own WiFi and not be able to see anything of the original campus location.

You can do this by setting up HIQ (Hierarchical ExtremeCloud IQ), which allows you to separate your ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ) instance out in to separate organizations. You can then create admins in XIQ that only have access to one organization, while you still have visibility in to all organizations. This page has more details on how this works and how to set it up: https://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/ng/Content/reference/guides/qsg-hierarchical-hivemanager.htm?Highlight=hierarchical&

Please note some of the information on that page may refer to HHM for this feature, that is just an old brand, this has been changed to HIQ. The feature and set up remain the same.

Thank you Sam. This is exactly what I would like to do. Is there any other documentation about moving or migrating existing network policies, groups, etc. to an organization or will it be easier to create new? I read where existing devices can be moved, but did not see any other information.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I just found out that the page I linked to you is a bit outdated, the parts about how HIQ works are still valid but the process to enable HIQ for the first time has changed. When you’re ready to turn it on, you’ll want to reach out to your sales engineer and they can start the process to enable that for your XIQ instance. Or if you’d like, I’d be happy to reach out for you and copy you on the email, just let me know when you’re ready for that change to be made.

For the objects, I don’t know of any way to copy them from one organization to another, I think you’d have to rebuild them. I just checked my HIQ lab and the organizations don’t share common objects between them, so you wouldn’t see previously built SSIDs when you’re in a particular organization’s network policy, only SSIDs built in to that organization.
