Migration to C35

[Stephen_McGuire]

Hello,

I have a general question regarding migrating from two C25's to two C35's.

Is there an FAQ or document that can assist in this migration? I seached the GTAK kb without any success.

Related, I am also about to upgrade my NetSight server (6.3.0.174) to Extreme Management Center (8.x).

I believe I need to upgrade the NetSight (at least 6.3.0.186 or higher) and NAC before the wireless controllers. We do use Policy Manager and Oneview not Purview.

Would love some advice on the best migration path.

The only thing that comes to my mind where the model of the controller has any impact on the EMC/Netsight version is if you use the Wireless Manager Tool.

For anything else it shouldn't make any difference.

Thanks for the info,

I've been mulling this over, while I would love to time is short for me.

It seems that the NetSight 6.3.0.174 does support the C35's, so I may need to migrate to the new C35's then work on the Netsight upgrades over the semester.

The most pressing need is to install new AP's before school starts. That means the C35's have to be done sooner and if I can avoid the NetSight upgrades then it might be the easiest path.

Release notes for NetSight 6.3.0.174 indicate at least to me that they support the C35 controllers.

Hello,

Currently I have 10.11.03.0004 running on both C25's, I have 100 AP's (50 on each) and once I've migrated I'll be adding at least 20 more AP's total.

What version is running on the C25 pair?
