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

[scotthowell]

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.

Migrating your AP4000 Access Points from the local IQ Cloud Controller to ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ) involves the following steps:

Prepare the APs:

Ensure that all AP4000 devices are in a provisioned state within XIQ.

Confirm that your network policy is ready for deployment.

Release APs from Local IQ Cloud Controller:

Access your local IQ Cloud Controller.

Select the AP4000 devices you intend to migrate.

Execute the "Release to Cloud" command to reset the APs and prepare them for XIQ adoption.

Onboard APs to XIQ:

Log in to your ExtremeCloud IQ account.

Navigate to the "Manage Devices" section.

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

Assign the APs to the appropriate network policy and device group.

Post-Migration Configuration:

After successful onboarding, configure the APs as needed.

Monitor their performance to ensure optimal operation.
