question about 4402 WLC configuration transfer

[robert.huang]

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking to replace a AIR-WLC4402-25-K9 which is running on code 4.2.61.0 with a AIR-WLC4402-50-K9 running on 7.0.116.0. Can I just backup the configuration from AIR-WLC4402-25-K9 and restore it on AIR-WLC4402-50-K9? If not, what is the best way to configure the AIR-WLC4402-50-K9? Do I have to configure it from scratch?

Thank you for any input.

Robert

Hi,

Nope!! many new features are different in the code!! the best way is to upgrade the 4.2 WLC to atleast 5.2 and above.. coz the config backup format is completely different in both of them..

Lemme know if this answered ur question and please dont forget to rate the usefull posts!!

Hi Robert,

first upgrade your old wlc to 5.2 and then 7.0.116.0 coz there are some changes in lagecy features in 7.0. if do not do so, you may see xml errors. Now upload the config to TFTP server then download it on new WLC.

Thanks
