We currently run 1 Cisco 6509 (CatOS) for our production network. It has multiple vlans which feed distribution switches on each floor in 2 buildings. Essentially each floor is its own vlan. Each floor switch is connected back to the 6509 via fiber connections. We also have several production vlans that our VMware and AIX environments connect to.
I would like to phase out the the 6509 and replace it with a new 6513 chassis, sup720's etc. Currently it is sitting next to the 6509 in the rack. I need to limit downtime as much as possible but can get one shutdown window over a weekend. However I dont think it would be enough time to move all of the existing etherconnections etc etc
So I am looking to run them both at the same time and slowly migrate over to the 6513 over the next few months.My solution was to use the 6513 (IOS) in L2 mode only for now and trunk it back to the 6509 via 4 1 gig connections in a LACP config.
So the 6509 would still be handling all of the L3 routing for now.Once I had moved all of the fiber and ethernet connections over to the 6513, I would use the shutdown weekend to configure the 6513 for L3 and essentially turn off the 6509 at that point.
My questions are - Is there a better way to do this ? - By trunking the 6513 to the 6509 do I need to worry about any loop issues ? - I am aware of the oversubscription issue for the port channel and have spread the 4 interfaces over the different groups of asics.
I'm currently working on migration from CSS to ACE. The ACE appliance is running A4(2.0) code. And i couldn't find the CSS to ACE conversion tool in the Web gui.
I am working on a DataCenter architecture where we would like to implement Nexus 7000, For the time being, there only one "context" but we may take the opportunity to implement VDC in a later future, I was not able to find a clear answer on the following :
Can we add the VDC licence & configure a new VDC on a Nexus 7000 running without VDC ? I suppose this is possible. but does it need to have the whole configuration changed or adding a VDC can be done without any interruption on the current environnement ?
I've run into an interesting problem trying to migrate my production config from my redundant ACE20's (A2(3.4)) to the new ACE30's (Tried (A4(1.0) and A5(1.0)). Everything on the ACE30 is working fine with a base config, but when the restore all is run from the ACE20 backup (backup all), the SSL files are not restored and return errors. All the contexts are restored correctly, along with the startup-config, but the running config fails due to no SSL.
All the crypto certs/keys are exportable and are present in the backup .tgz file.
we have a chassis 6513-E and a module WS-X6748-GE-TX, I'd like to know if could I put this module in any slot, since the documentation from Cisco says that any slot from a chassis 6500-E Series can support this module. And then in the documentation of WS-X6748-GE-TX says that this module is not compatible in the slots 1-8 of the 6513 chassis, only from 9th to 13th slots, in those slots from the 6513-E we already have 4x WS-X6748-GE-TX, and we'd like to know if could we put the module in the rest of the slots. The 6513, and 6513-E is kind of confusing.
Everytime I make a config change to one of the contexts on our ACE20, I get this message: Config Application in Progress. This command is queued to the system
I've valid SAU service contract with WCS. Can I migrate from WCS (7.0.230..0) to latest version of NCS by downloading it from software center or I should purchase some SKU for upgrading to NCS?
Is anybody deploying ASA Services Module? I am looking for feedback/gotchas/advice for a migration from an ASA-5550 HA pair.I also received confirmation from Cisco that VPN termination is active in the latest 8.5/8.6 code releases, so hopefully should be able to fully retire my 5550's.
what options are available to a customer with 800 APs that is finally migrating to a centralised model and therefore migrating from WLSE to WCS? Assuming that they move to v8 of WCS can they upgrade their WLSE licenses to WCS?
Are there any methods for statistic data importing from old LMS 3.2 to a new LMS 3.1 version? I know about devices invemtory export/import function, but also i want to save all data gathered from previous time.
I have an ACS 5.2 deployment and i want to upgrade it to 5.4 version.I have 2 server in my deplyement:
1/ Primary Server as Authentication server & log collector
2/ Secondary server as Authentication server.
What is the best way to do the migration? Normaly, i can proceed as follows:
1/ Deregidter each server from the deployement ==> Make both the servers standaone 2/ Upgrade the Secondary server. 3/ Upgrade the Primary server (without migrate the log server). 4/ Join Servers to the deployement.
what is the key point to note for migrating data from ACS 4.0 to ACS 5.0? how can I use Migration utility to migrate data from old version to new version??
I have ACS setup running with 1000 devices and more than 2000 users and 60 groups dont want to build new acs from scratch want to import data from old version?
I need to upgrade my ACS for windows 4.1.1.23 to 5.2 as we have come across the windows 2008R2 AD problem. Now reading the migration document it says I need to go to at least 4.1.1.24 first which will not be a problem, then I need a migation server, so that means I need another ACS server as the migration server. As I already have 2 ACS servers could I use one of them as the Migration server, ie take it out of production?
I am working on a migration from Windows based WCS 7.0.164.3 to NCS appliance (1.2.1-once it is available). After stopping WCS, I issued the export userdata C:WCS07Migrate. The process completed, but did not create a single zip file. I found 2 files created in the tmp directory.
One contains multiple a folder called tempDirUserDataFromDb - containing multiple xml files; and another file called ImportExport_ca<number> which contains the maps. Was there something incorrect in my command? Can I use still use these files on NCS? Or do I need to redo the export on the WCS?
NCM is going away. It is recommend to move to LMS. We already have a LMS deployment. Currently just used for Monitoring/Performance.Trying to figure out how to get the Configuration change piece that we used NCM for into LMS. Not really having any luck.What I am really wanting to do is configuration archive, device config change notices (when a device config changes I can run report to see who and what was changed), and configuration comparisions (between old and new configs)
I need to Migrate from ACC 4.1(1) to ACS 5.4, Have configured Network Access Restrictions and Networks Access profiles in ACS 4.1(1), can i go for staright away migration and is the same supported in ACS 5.4
I'm trying to get all the templates and Maps I've created in WCS into our new NCS. The instructions say just run the export.bat file on WCS and then Migrate into NCS. I cannot find any export.bat file on version 7.0.220.0 of WCS. Is it only available in WCS version 7.0.164.3 ro 7.0.172.0? Do I have to use the export.bat file or can I just do a regular backup and restore?
A customer is asking to upgrade their LMS 3.0 to Prime 1.1. However, the customer or their previous system's integrator never actually installed LMS 3.0. The licensing and PAK were never used as well. My question is, can I still use the migration top level part # R-PI-1.1-UP-K9 to upgrade LMS 3.0 to Prime 1.1 because there was no licensing ever installed? How would the migration of the current licensing work with the new licensing PAK if that is the case? Or does the customer have to purchase a fresh Prime 1.1 licensing (top level part # R-PI-1.1-K9) because LMS 3.0 was never installed?
Report run via Individual Web server URL’sThe report takes less than 20 minutes (average 15 minutes) to fetch and return the data. This is observed 9 out of 10 times.Report run via ACE Load Balanced URLThe report keeps on running for more than 20 minutes and never completes. The front end keeps showing report is running.The data in general when tested directly by running queries against the database (bypassing the platform) completes in 15-18 minutesThe network connectivity for each and every ports involved (Loadbalancer/Servers) have been throulgly checked.
Can't see this in the documentation, as only Solaris to soft appliance is mentioned, so does anyone know if you can migrate data from LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2008 to the soft appliance on LMS 4.1?
We have a single 4404 that was setup long before I arrived with Guest networks that timeout and other such tweaks. Is there a document somewhere that shows a way to migrate the old settings to a new 5508 that we are purchasing? By the time the 5508 arrives I will have a very small window to setup the unit before a new wing goes live. I need the new unit as we have reached our limit of licensed AP's on the old 4404. It seems like everyone keeps talking about an easy way but no one says how to do it.
I have never setup one of these units before from scratch so I don't know how long it will take.
I have old ASA with 8.0 configuration that includes huge number of ACL, NAT , VPNs , we got a new ASA with 8.6 , and we are planning to move the configuration to the new box , I'm wondering what is the best approach to do this , I'm thinking of one of the following scenarios1- downgrade the new ASA to 8.3 , the apply the config , remove the identity nat commands and names then upgrade to 8.6 and after that reconfigure the NAT rules and object groups .2- convert the old config manually to 8.6 code including NAT , object-group ,ACL and apply it to the new ASA ( this is going to be huge task). What are the commands that I have to look at when I convert to 8.6 and will the VPN configuration be affected ?
WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 migration?I am so confused on the migration procedure as I found the documents in Cisco kind of contradictory.Some document said it is required to upgrade WCS to NCS 1.1 before to go to prime infrastructure 1.2.And the other document said WCS can directly upgrade to prime infrastructure 1.2.
my company has the asa 5505 working as the remote access vpn server. my company needs more licenses for vpn than the asa 5505 give it. because of my company purchased the asa 5510. i must migrate configuration from the asa 5505 to the asa 5510. i exported configuration file from asa 5505. i made the changes on them and imported them in the asa 5510. my asa5510 doesn't work. i putted configuration files from asa 5505 and 5510.
Have upgraded WCS to 7.0 due to a Mesh network feature we needed, but now see I can no longer edit the AP migration templates. The interface allows me to create or delete them but the command dropdown box does not show an Edit option. So now for every AP I want to migrate I need to create a new template before I can select the AP's and migrate them. I still need to migrate about 220 APs....
Looking though the function it tells me to click on the Migration Template name. However neither in MS IE nor Firefox this works, there is no link activated.
I have done a WCS 7.0.220.0 to NCS migration prior to moving to Prime 1.2. I followed the instructions to export the WCS database via the export.bat all command and exported the database. However, when I import this zip fileto NCS there do not seem to be any of the original WCS templates. All the maps and AP details have migrated but no templates.
I have tried the export again and ploughed through the resultant zip file looking for anything that looks like template files but there is nothing immediately apparent that looks like templates.
