Site Level Floorplan Migration

HPE Aruba Networking Central supports migration of site floorplan data from Classic Central. Migration is the process of transferring floorplan data from Classic Central to HPE Aruba Networking Central. This encompasses essential elements such as the floorplan, devices situated on the floor, walls, and regions, as well as the planned access points. Importantly, the site name will serve as the building name in HPE Aruba Networking Central, facilitating a seamless alignment of all floors in the Classic Central site with the corresponding building in HPE Aruba Networking Central.

The migration workflow is similar to importing a floorplan. For example, if a device is not present in a site, it will get converted to a planned AP and a non-supported device will get converted to AP-635 access point.

Note:

  • The migration of a site from Classic Central to HPE Aruba Networking Central is a one-time activity.

  • The latest backup file in Classic Central is used for migration.

  • The time taken for migration depends on the size of the floorplan data in Classic Central.
