Cisco WLC 2504 export config

[MSH]

Hello, is there a way to export the configuration from a WLC 2504 and import it 1:1 into Meraki?

Kind regards, Volker Boeckl

A 2504 WLC and Meraki are two rather different technologies. There is no direct conversion between from 2504 WLC config to Meraki, so you’ll probably have to manually configure the Meraki network to match the WLC as much as possible.

No, it's not possible.

You can try this tool.

Last time I used a configuration conversion tool from Cisco, I ended up with a configuration that was so messed up, it was impossible to navigate it and we ended up with scrapping the configuration and rebuilding it manually by hand.

I don't know this tool, nor if it's even still being maintained, but I'd argue it's best to simply build the entire AireOS config manually rather than trying to convert.

Depending on how well the AireOS config has been maintained as well, you might end up with configuration dept.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Personally, I also prefer to configure it from scratch, but there are people who don't have that patience. LOL
