WLC Config Converter (AireOS, IOS-XE)
External Link: https://cway.cisco.com/wlc-config-converter/
Goal of this tool is to provide easy config migration between various wireless platforms.One tool can perform following operations:
- AireOS(2500/3500/5500/7500/8500/WISM2) to Cat 9800 Wireless LAN Controller conversion: For folks looking to migrate from any AireOS platform to the latest Catalyst 9800 series Wireless LAN Controllers. Inputs required: TFTP config backup from AireOS or "show run-config startup-commands" output. Please refer Note below for more details.
- AireOS to IOS-XE(Converged Access) conversion: For folks looking to migrate from AireOS platforms 2500/3500/5500/7500/8500/WISM2/vWLC controllers to IOS-xe/Denali platforms 3650/3850/4500 S8E/5760. Inputs required: TFTP config backup from AireOS or "show run-config startup-commands" output Phase1: Only provide WLAN migration
- IOS-XE(Converged Access) to AireOS conversion: For folks looking to migrate from IOS-XE/Denali platforms 3650/3850/4500 S8E/5760 controllers to AireOS platforms 2500/3500/5500/7500/8500/WISM2/vWLC. Inputs required: "show running-config" output from IOS-xe/Denali based platforms Phase1: Only provides WLAN migration
- AireOS to AireOS(5520/8540) conversion: For folks looking to migrate from older AireOS platforms 2500/5500/7500/8500/WISM2/vWLC controllers to newer AireOS platforms 5520/8540. Inputs required: TFTP config backup from AireOS or "show run-config startup-commands" output
- AireOS(5520/8540) to AireOS conversion: For folks looking to migrate from newer AireOS platforms 5520/8540 controllers to older AireOS platforms 2500/5500/7500/8500/WISM2/vWLC. Inputs required: TFTP config backup from AireOS or "show run-config startup-commands" output
Usage:
1. Click on tool link: https://cway.cisco.com/wlc-config-converter
2. Upload the required input file
3. Select the conversion option
4. Hit Run for the output
Note:
- For AireOS WLC's please do not confuse "show run-config startup-commands" output with "show run-config". Only"show run-config startup-commands" or TFTP config backup is a supported input format for AireOS migration.
- For Catalyst 9800 config migration – Please download the CFG file directly from the tool post-conversion and upload the translated .cfg file to 9800 "bootflash:”. Then execute: “copy bootflash: running-config>” on your WLC 9800 for config migration.
