Moving a Cloud Monitored Catalyst between networks

[rhbirkelund]

Either there is no litterature, or my Google skills seem to fail me this time.

Does anyone have experience in moving Cloud Monitored Catalyst switches between networks?

I have a switch I want to move to a different network. But when I select it the "Move" button is greyed out, unlike my Cloud Managed switch.

Is it not possible to move a Monitored switch? Or do I simply have to go through the Cloud Onboarding process to select a different network?

Hm.. Seems one has to remove it entirely from the network, and re-onboard the switch.

I just checked my 9300, and yes, no move is available. I hope this gets implemented before I have to move my first monitored Catalyst ... 😉

Hm... The process isn't that smooth. Or maybe I did some things in the wrong order.

I tried to re-onboard the swtich along with two new swtiches. The new ones were onboarded without issues but the existing one, was hanging in the final step "Commiting". It didn't move the switch though. So I killed the onboarding tool, removed the switch and ran it again on the existing. That did the trick and the switch was added to the new network.

But it didn't apply any telemetry config, so I had to manually copy that over from one of the others.

After that everything seems to be in order.

I think we are all waiting for the native tunnel to be used for monitoring as well 🙂
Then things will get better ... right ? 🙂

I mean the command is kinda already there - if anyone has tried and been to impatient with waiting for the switch to reset when adding it do a network using the "cloud native" IOS-XE versions.

test platform software config mode managed <- starts the conversion to "meraki mode" with the new software.

But : test platform software config mode ? - tells you that there are options for "monitored" and I seem to remember the last one was called "catalyst" , Im guessing that last one is what Meraki supports sends to the switch in order to revert it back to "catalyst persona".
