Migrating the AirWave Server
Migrating the AirWave Server
Important Information for Migration
The following are the requirements and guidelines for the migration process:
n The AirWave system must be running a minimum AirWave version of 8.2.8.2 for the migration to proceed. If the AirWave system is running an earlier version, refer to the AirWave documentation to upgrade the version to 8.2.8.2 or later versions.
n Only those APs, controllers, and switches that are supported in Aruba Central On-Premises are migrated. For information on supported hardware, see Supported Devices section.
n As part of migration, Visual RF and the device inventory for CAPs, IAPs, controllers, and Aruba/HPE switches are migrated.
n For controllers, the device credentials for SNMP and HTTPS profiles are mapped. n Migration of multiple AirWave systems to a single Aruba Central On-Premises server is supported. That is,
you can migrate multiple AirWave systems to Aruba Central On-Premises by adding the IP addresses or AMP Hostnames of each AirWave system individually. n All the historical data including data related to reports, monitoring, and stats are not migrated from Airwave to Aruba Central On-Premises during the migration process. n Templates are not migrated from Airwave to Aruba Central On-Premises during the migration process.

Chapter 3 Configuration Data Check
Configuration Data Check
After the migration completes, verify that your onboarded devices and the associated or applicable device credentials are migrated correctly. The following resources are migrated: n Onboarded devices for Remote APs, Campus APs, Instant APs, controllers, and switches. n For controllers, the device credentials for SNMP and HTTPS profiles.
The HTTPS profile remains blank, if the user does not enter the ssh credentials of the controller on the AMP at the time of migration.
Post-Migration Setup
Ensure to configure the migrated devices to the Aruba Central On-Premises server to ensure successful transfer of data or AMON traffic between the device and the Aruba Central On-Premises server. The devices must be mapped to the cluster IP Aruba Central On-Premises server. Prior to the migration process, the controllers were mapped to the AirWave server. Prior to the migration process, the DHCP server points to the AirWave server. Once the migration process is completed, ensure that the DHCP server is pointed to the Aruba Central On-Premises server.
Migrating the VisualRF Floor Plans

Chapter 4 Annexure - Supported Devices

Annexure - Supported Devices
This section provides the following information:
n Supported APs Platforms n Supported AOS-S Platforms n Supported AOS-CX Platforms n Supported Aruba Mobility Controllers

Supported APs Platforms
Aruba Central On-Premises supports following types of Aruba access points (APs).
n Instant APs--The Instant Access Point (IAP) based WLAN solution consists of a cluster of access points in a Layer 2 subnet. The IAPs serve a dual role as both Virtual Controller (VC) and member APs. The IAP WLAN solution does not require a dedicated controller hardware and can be deployed through a simplified setup process appropriate for smaller organizations, or for multiple geographically dispersed locations without an on-site administrator. IAPs run on the Aruba Instant. Aruba Central On-Premises supports both monitoring and management of IAPs. With Aruba Central On-Premises, network administrators can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot IAP WLANs, upload new software images, monitor devices, generate reports, and perform other vital management tasks from remote locations.
n Campus APs--The Campus Access Point (CAP)s are used in private networks where APs connect over private links (LAN, WLAN, WAN, or MPLS) and terminate directly on controllers. Campus APs are deployed as part of the indoor campus solution in enterprise office buildings, warehouses, hospitals, universities, and so on. Aruba Central On-Premises supports only onboarding and monitoring the Campus APs.
n Remote APs The Remote Access Point (RAP)s allows AP users at remote locations to connect to an Aruba controller over the Internet. Since the Internet is involved, data traffic between the controller and the remote AP is VPN encapsulated. That is the traffic between the controller and AP is encrypted. Remote AP operations are supported on all of Aruba APs.

Supported AP
Aruba Central On-Premises supports the following AP platforms and Aruba Instant software versions:
