Best practice - Migrate from WLC4404 to WLC5508

Dave Tremblay

Hello everyone,

I would like to have pointers how to migrate from WLC4404 to WLC5508. I want to know your propositions.

I could replicate the configuration manually but there is a lot of confirugation menus and all. If both could be online and migrate the AP to the new one until there is none on the old one, it would be great.

I'm waiting your replies.

Best regards

1.  Upgrade the 4400 to the "highest" firmware, 7.0.235.3.  Make sure the 5500 also have the same firmware (7.0.235.3).

2.  Copy the config from the 4400 to your TFTP server. 

3.  Copy the config from the TFTP to the 5500.

4.  All done.

It's that easy ? You have done it before ? If so, I'm impress !

No.  I haven't done it on a 4400 to 5508 ...

I've done it on a WiSM-1 to WiSM-2 ... during office hours.  LOL!

Oh... I would have been reassured if you had done it before the WLC... I will try to find out if it works.

Dave,

Same process but the WiSM-1 to WiSM-2 is more heartstopping because it resides on a large chassis.
