ExtremeCloud™ IQ UI Transition: What You Need to Know

[SamPirok]

The ExtremeCloud™ IQ classic UI will be retired Q4 calendar year 2026. The new UI has been available  since July 2025 to ensure customers have ample time to become comfortable before the classic UI is retired.

We will be transitioning from the classic UI to our modernized new UI which will become the default interface for all ExtremeCloud IQ customers in July 2026. The classic UI will be officially retired in Q4 2026 (before December 31, 2026). 

Why is This Transition Needed?

• ExtremeCloud IQ classic is based on legacy architecture
• No new features are being added in ExtremeCloud IQ classic 
• All features / capabilities are developed in ExtremeCloud IQ new UI and Extreme Platform ONE 

Seamless Transition to ExtremeCloud IQ new

• Customers will have a new UI and UX to manage their networks with ExtremeCloud IQ new 
• There will be NO IMPACT to customers data / networks / logs / devices 
• Customers will continue to manage and monitor their network as they have been doing prior to the upgrade

What’s Changing

• ExtremeCloud IQ is transitioning from the classic UI to the new UI experience.
• This is a user interface update only. The underlying platform, configurations, policies, and data remain unchanged. 
• There are specific features that will not be available in ExtremeCloud IQ’s new user interface based on customer usage or were not working in prior releases 
• There are specific 3rd party switches that will no longer be supported with ExtremeCloud IQ’s new user interface

What’s Not Changing

• No impact to network operations
• Same URL and login credentials
• No configuration, policy, or data loss
• No licensing or entitlement changes

In EP1, When filter device for appliance, I can see the 1130C and Tunnel Concentrator we recently deployed for our customer, but when clicking on it, nothing happen. There is also no menu available to update or request anything to/from them.

In classic UI, other than the  action/diag/update menu, when you click on those kinds of devices you are able to see classic monitoring info for the 1130C like port status and so on. And for both you have a link to proxy through XIQ to reach the local webUI.

When will it be available on EP1 ? (but the list of missing features is so long that it should be wayyyyy under the features implementation list)

@WW oh boy!

Now that I was right, and I have the XIQ "new" and the lovely XIQ Classic, I see so much more disparity between the data from one to the other.  Latest is an AP in EP1/New with an alert of "insufficient power" for PoE... You guess it, in Classic its completely fine....

Honestly I think they are quite literally programming at crazy speed trying to get it all just shoved over into the newer interfaces (remember EP1 and New are the same thing, just ep1 has Ai) as quickly as possible - with errors and bugs -.

"They" are probably banging away at their keyboards to get that code shoved in as I type this out.

@SebBinet Have you tried the left menu... Monitoring >> Network Devices ?

There are a few things under that, like wired, wireless sd-wan, etc....

It might be there.  If it is, click the 3 vertical dots to the right of the listed equipment, that will open up access to Actions (reboot, update, etc).

And yeah, lots missing, and also not the same data between Ep1/New and Classic.. I just posted about PoE .. insufficient in EP1 and just fine in Classic....
