Migrating Access Points from Catalyst 3650 IOS-XE to CT-5520 Aire-OS

[pnahirny]

Hi,

I have a client with access points registered with a Catalyst 3650 IOS-XE wireless controller and would like to re-register these access points with a new CT-5520 wireless controller running Aire-OS. Is there a procedure for doing this?

Thanks,

Pete

do you want to continue to keep the AP on same vlan as the management interface on 3650 or you can move them to a different vlan ?

I'll be moving the APs to a different VLAN and as per other replies, I should be able to simply re-register the APs to the 5520 WLC.

Thanks,

Pete

Nothing special.  Just move the AP using the Primary Controller details.

Hi Pete,

Simply put those AP onto another vlan other than wireless management vlan of 3650. As long as AP learn about 5520 controller mgmt IP via new vlan (DHCP optoin 43 or DNS) it should able to register to it.

Thank You Rasika.

I hoped it would be as you described but was a little unsure due to the different operating systems.
