Upload configuration Switch migration 4000 serie to 5420 switch

[SAID-TOTO]

Hi guys, 

I am working on switch migration project. I am trying to upload 4000 switch series to 5420 switch. The new switch do not take configuration. 

I am following KB to do that, for me it's the same as the upgrading operation. May you have tips or another processus to setup it ? 

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your feeback. I expect to support to understand how management instant should work. 

I am starting with Fabric Engine system. I am more confortable in EXOS than VOSS. Curently I used the User Guide  still in issue. I could not reach the gateway of my vlan managment.  I can ping the management interface vlan but no thing more

To migrate from a 4000 series switch to a 5420, ensure compatibility and review documentation for syntax differences. Use export tools if available, and migrate configurations in smaller sections (like VLANs and interfaces) to troubleshoot easily. Start by backing up configurations, then adapt the settings for the new switch. Perform incremental uploads, validating functionality at each step, and apply final configurations. 

Hope this helps
