Transferring AP CW9164I from Maraki to Controller 9800

Hi
We have 2 WIFI  systems in our organization, a Meraki and a vm controller 9800
, in the Meraki we have an AP CW9164I
I want to transfer about 5 AP CW9164I from the Meraki to the controller 9800
Is this possible and what is the process?

Thanks

Kind of a big deal

You will need to open a case with Meraki Support and have them initiate the migration from Meraki to Catalyst Persona.

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to do it yourself.

Hi  shlomoi,

 

In addition to  rhbirkelund comment, the Cisco series 916x access points come pre-loaded with both DNA and Meraki images. This allows for flexibility in choosing which management mode will best suit you, the user. This document contains a pre-flight checklist for migrating APs from Meraki managed mode to DNA mode. 

 

Do you have an IOS-XE controller?

The controller can be a physical 9800-CL or virtual vWLC in the cloud. DNA management mode APs cannot run in autonomous mode and require a controller to operate. 

 

Please, find the documentation below - https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Other_Topics/916X_Management_Mode_Checklist_and_Troubleshooting

Yes we have a 9800 VM controller.
Why do I need support? If I connect to the console there is no option to configure it for the 9800

You can't do it yourself...   from the document that Alex linked:

 

Everything is ready

Once everything is confirmed to be set up and you are ready for the migration, initiate a migration from Meraki mode to DNA mode by raising a case with Meraki support.
