Moving APs to a new controller

It is recommended to regularly back up the configuration of your wireless controller. In
the case of controller failure/replacement or adding a new controller to the network,
APs can be moved to other controllers to be management or restored to a replacement
controller unit. If a controller fails or is removed from the network, the APs will continue
to function and keep their current wireless settings. In order to restore the APs to a
replacement controller, (1) the controller IP settings must be configured to be on the
same IP network as the APs (2) you must use the administrator password configured on
the APs from the previous controller (same as the admin management password of
previous controller) to reassign the APs to the new controller (3) after you have
reassigned APs to the new controller successfully, you can restore your controller
configuration from a previous backup file. Whether reassigning new APs to a new
controller or replacing an existing controller, you can use the steps below to reassign
your APs.
Important Note: (1) the controller IP settings must be configured to be on the same IP
network as the APs (2) you must use the administrator password configured on the APs
from the previous controller (same as the admin management password of previous
controller) to reassign the APs to the new controller (3) after you have reassigned APs to
the new controller successfully, you can restore your controller configuration from a
previous backup file.
