Hardware Migration - A200 to 650 Controller

    Hello all,

     

    We are in the process of upgrading our current wireless network A200 controller with six AP-70's to a 650 controller. As part of this evolution, we would like reutilize the current AP-70's along with newly purchased AP-125's. This doesn't seem like an overly complicated task but has anyone else attempted to migrate/upgrade hardware platforms?

     

    Thanks

    Depends on the firmware version you are running.  What firmware is on the A200?  If it's older code (pre 3.x) then you will probably want to reconfigure the 650 from scratch.  There is a migration tool to migrate older configuration but the clean-up process is a PITA (or used to be as I haven't done this in ages).

    Mike,

     

    Thanks for the reply,

     

    The firmware on the A200 is indeed pre 3.0. Would you anticipate any compatibility issues with the older AP-70s and the 650?

    I do believe it's supported but I would get confirmation from Aruba to determine compatibility.  If you have support with Aruba, give him a buzz and they can tell you or someone here can reply.
