Migrating The Existing Configuration To The 3.0 Baseline; Migrating Up To The 3.0 Baseline - Motorola WS5100 Series Migration Giude

3-2 WS5100 Series Switch Migration Guide

3.3 Migrating the Existing Configuration to the 3.0 Baseline

Tempest University wants to update their switches to the new Motorola 3.0 baseline, add support for its
increasing student population and create hotspots strategically on campus that optimize data, video and or
wireless traffic depending on the requirement for specific campus segments. Specific challenges include:
• Adding wireless support for an additional 1500 students in addition to the existing 1500 on wired PCs.
Adding the 1500 students constitutes migrating the existing 2.0 configuration to the 10 existing switches,
then adding 5 new WS5100 switches and moving the newly created WS5100 3.0 configuration to the 5
new switches.
• Create new hot spots on campus. Some hot spots are intended to cover a single large room, others cover
complete buildings (to support separate departments on campus). The new hot spot implementation
would allow students more flexibility to conduct research, access the internet, check email and obtain
files from their respective departments using their own laptops or PDAs.

3.3.1 Migrating Up to the 3.0 Baseline

Tempest University is required to migrate each of its existing ten WS5100s to the new 3.0 baseline to
optimize the 3.0 feature set to achieve its goals for expanding their coverage area and utilizing the 3.0

feature set
NOTE: Migrating the 2.0 baseline up to the 3.0 baseline does not preserve the switch's
previous 2.0 configuration. Consequently, the IT Department at Tempest University must
save each switch's existing configuration and port it to the new 3.0 baseline as a separate
activity from the switch operating system migration.
To migrate up to the 3.0 baseline, the Tempest University IT department completes the following:

This is the configuration that will be upgraded to the new 3.0 baseline.
NOTE: Motorola recommends saving a copy of the switch configurartion to a secure
location before the upgrade. If an error occurs with the upgrade a viable configuration will
be needed to restore on the switch.
4. Copy the configuration file <.cfg> from the legacy WS5100 to the Windows system where the conversion
