Migiration C9800 from AWS to on-prem

IbrahimElbagouri57340 — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:31:55 GMT

Hello All,

I am currently exploring the migration of a C9800 wireless controller configuration from AWS to an on-premises server. I understand that updating the IP addresses in the configuration is crucial, but I would appreciate any guidance or instructions you can provide on this process.

Additionally, I am curious about potential challenges that I might encounter during the migration. If anyone has experience or insights to share, your input would be highly valuable.

Thanks!

- In general I would import a copy of the running config of the AWS based 9800 to the on premise 9800 , after changing (required) addresses such as SP and AP management interface(s) ; have a checkup of the on premise controller configuration with the CLI command show tech wireless ; feed the output into : Wireless Config Analyzer

And remember there'll be differences in the interface names/numbers on a physical WLC and the physical WLC will use built-in certificate for AP management not the generated certificate used on 9800-CL. Apart from that all the rest of the wireless config should remain unchanged.
