EQ/OS 8.6 to EQ/OS 10.0 Configuration Converter
Conversion using the GUI
The GUI work flow would be simplified, particularly because there is no plan to implement file
management in the GUI. This would all be done using a wizard screen with several steps:
1. Log in to the GUI.
2. Click on
Equalizer
on the left navigational pane.
3. Click on the
Maintenance
tab and then
Tools
on the right to display the
Tools
accordion tabs.
4. Click on the
Configuration Converter
accordion tab and the following will be displayed.
The EQ/OS 8.6 backup file can be uploaded either from a URL or FTP server or from a local
directory. Proceed with either step 5 or step 6 depending on the location of your backup file. After
selecting a file from either method described in steps 5 and 6, proceed with step 7.:
Note
- By default, VLANs and Subnets in the EQ.OS 8.6 configuration will be converted. Enabling the
Ignore VLANs
and Subnets
option will cause the converter to ignore VLANs and Subnets in the EQ/OS 8.6 configuration.
5. To upload from a URL or FTP Server:
a. Click on the
FTP URL
option and enter the FTP location or URL in the space
provided.
b. Click on
Continue
to upload the file. A Please Wait message should appear while
the file is downloaded from the FTP site. If connection with the FTP site fails, an
error message will be displayed. If successful, a message will be displayed
prompting you to continue. Press
Continue
again and the
Verify and Run Configuration
Script
screen will be displayed.
