Migrate VX9000 into XIQ

JohanHendrikx — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 17:34:00 GMT

Hello, we have juist migrated XMC to XIQ-SE.

How can I integrate WiNG VX9000 controller into XIQ?

Firmware VX9000 v7.6.3

Hallo Johan,
a VX 9000 can be monitored by using an NSIGHT Profile, which points to you XIQ Instance.
Please visit this KB article : How to add WiNG AP to Extreme Cloud IQ.
https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000079429&q=%20000079429%20

You will need a related Lic on you XIQ Instance, to cover the VX.
On XIQ you can also use SSH back into your VX.
I would use 7.7.1.1 on the VX, so if possible, please upgrade your Controller.

Best Regards
Andreas

Hello Johan,
did you assign the NSight Policy to the wanted devices? (checked for typos in the Policy and made sure you entered the correct Hosting RDC ?)
Are there Firewalls , which might block traffic?
Best Regards

Hi Johan,

Thank you for contacting Extreme Networks Community. Please note that onboarding a VX9000 and its APs to XIQ will require either Navigator licenses or Pilot licenses. Ensure there is enough Navigator/Pilot licenses to support this onboarding.

Make sure that the nsight-policy configured on the VX looks similar to the below:

nsight-policy XIQ
server host va2-wing.extremecloudiq.com https enforce-verification poll-work-queue

Please note that the server host may be different depending on the RDC your VHM is hosted.

Next the nsight-policy should be mapped to the rf-domain or rf domains as shown below:

rf-domain NOC
geo-coordinates 40.8190976 -73.1480064
country-code us
ad-wips-wireless-mitigation disable
ad-wips-wired-mitigation disable
use nsight-policy XIQ

Lastly, make sure that the nsight-policy is mapped directly to the VX9000 as an override as well:

vx9000 00-0C-29-19-FC-B5
use profile default-vx9000
use rf-domain NOC
hostname vx9000-19FCB5
license AAP VX-DEFAULT-64AAP-LICENSE
license ADSEC DEFAULT-ADV-SEC-LICENSE
license VX <license-string>
use nsight-policy XIQ
*removed for brevity*

Once the above is verified and configured monitor XIQ to verify the VX and the APs are reflected.

Hello Andreas,

Does the Wing visibility only on the XIQ works with the IQ Connect Freemium account or still needs the IP Pilot or Navigator ?
I was lookin at that video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMgGiSDlZns&ab_channel=ExtremeNetworks where it says at the beginning the 2 journeys (one with freemium connect account and the other one on Pilot/NAvigator)

Many thanks !
Teodor

WiNG visibility should work in monitor-only mode on Connect level account as well.

When connecting Wing environment to Pilot-level account, you must have at least Navigator license for each Wing device

As per example given by Douglas:
nsight-policy XIQ
server host va2-wing.extremecloudiq.com https enforce-verification poll-work-queue

Pay attention to suffix on your rdc URL. Above example is for account in https://va2.extremecloudiq.com/. So for nsight server, you need to add "-wing" to host part. The correct address is then "va2-wing.extremecloudiq.com".
Moreover if you have problems, try it without "enforce-verification" clause.
