    LEt say i got a Aruba 620 Controller

    I get an Aruba 650 Controller

     

    I want that the new Aruba be the master in this master-local scenario

     

    Right now the 620 controller is the master

    the 650 got no config its on factory default

     

    There is a way to backup and restore  just the profiles  and i manually configure the part of the networking so i dont have ton configure the profiles i the new Wireless controller?

     

    As i wont be able to backup and upload the full config.

     

    Does anyone know a way to do it otherway besides manually configuring all the thing in the new aruba manually?

    You could make the 650 a backup master first. That way it gets the config from the 620. Once you are satisfied that everything has synchronized properly, you could then make the 620 a local to the 650.

     

    That's probably what I would do.

    Following are the steps to achieve the swap 

     

    1. Create a VRRP instance between 620 and 650 with 620 being the master 

    On 620 controller 

    vrrp <vrid> 

    priority 255 -> this will make sure that this is the master always 

    ip address <vrrp ip address> 

    vlan <vlan id> 

    no shut 

     

    On 650 controller 

    The same commands as above but do not enter the command to set the priority 

    Default priority is set to 100

     

    2. Configure master-redundancy between the two controllers 620 - master / 650 - standby

    On both controllers 

     

    On both controllers 

    master-redundancy

         master-vrrp <vrrp id>

         peer-ip-address <peer-ip> ipsec <ipsec-key>

     

     

     

    3. Configure database synchronize and set the period to 1 minute, so that it syncs the database every 1 minute.

    database synchronize period 1 

     

    4. Also, sysnchronize the rf-data-plan if you have one 

    database synchronize rf-plan-data 

     

    Once the Sync is complete, check the databases on 650 controller to make sure it has all the information. 

     

    After confirmation, 

    5. Remove master-redundancy 

    6. Remove VRRP 

    7. Configure master-ip on the 620 controller and point it to the IP address of 650 controller 

    8. Configure local-ip on the 650 controller and point it to the IP address of 620 controller.
