Migration of AP4000 from On Prem Extreme IQ Cloud Controller to ExtremeCloud IQ

scotthowell — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:32:43 GMT

Hi all, we currently have 300+ AP4000 Access Points running locally on Extreme IQ cloud controller. I want to migrate all APs off of the controller into XIQ. All APs are in a provisioned state within XIQ at the moment. I have the network policy ready. Could anyone advise How I remove them from Local IQ Cloud Controller and migrate them into XIQ to be fully managed.

To migrate your AP4000 Access Points from the local IQ Cloud Controller to ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ), follow these steps:

Access the Local IQ Cloud Controller:

Release APs to Cloud:

Navigate to the device management section.

Select the AP4000 devices you wish to migrate.

Choose the option to "Release to Cloud" or "Release to XIQ" (terminology may vary).

This action will reset the APs to factory settings and prepare them for cloud adoption.

Onboard APs to XIQ:

Go to the "Manage Devices" section.

Use the "Advanced Onboarding" feature to add the APs by entering their serial numbers or uploading a CSV file.

Ensure that the APs are assigned to the correct network policy and device group.

Verify and Monitor:

Once onboarded, monitor the APs to ensure they are operating correctly.

Apply any necessary configurations or updates through XIQ.

Regarding Magis TV Gratis, it's essential to ensure that your network infrastructure supports high-bandwidth streaming, especially for 4K UHD content. Upgrading your APs to XIQ-managed devices can enhance network performance and stability, providing a better streaming experience for applications like Magis TV.

We recently went through a similar migration while optimizing network performance for Magis TV— a streaming app that requires super stable connections for smooth live TV and video delivery. Moving from an on-premises setup to ExtremeCloud IQ definitely helped us with better scalability, easier management, and faster troubleshooting.

For AP4000 migration, make sure:

Firmware is updated before onboarding to the new cloud.
APs are properly deregistered from the on-prem controller.
You double-check your licensing and policy profiles on ExtremeCloud IQ.

It made a noticeable difference for our streaming performance. Good luck with the migration! 🔥

To migrate your AP4000 Access Points from a local IQ Cloud Controller to ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ), begin by logging into your local controller where the AP4000 units are currently managed, then release the selected APs using the “Release to Cloud” or “Release to XIQ” option, which resets them to factory settings for cloud adoption. After that, sign in to your ExtremeCloud IQ account, go to the Manage Devices section, and onboard the APs through the Advanced Onboarding feature by entering their serial numbers or uploading a CSV file, making sure to assign each device to the correct network policy and group. Once the onboarding process is complete, monitor the APs in XIQ to confirm proper operation and apply any necessary updates or configurations. Additionally, if you plan to use high-bandwidth streaming services like Magis TV Gratis—especially for 4K UHD content—upgrading your APs to XIQ can help improve overall performance, stability, and streaming quality.
