  • 1.  Import AOS-S Stack to Central

    Posted Nov 20, 2025 09:30 AM

    Hi,

    I read a lot of older posts for this topic but could not find a solution...

    I have to import about a dozen AOS-S stacks of 2930F into central, retaining the configuration. I did this for single switches and it worked just fine, of course with Template Groups only.

    However, I did not find any documentation from Aruba about importing a stack. I would presume I have to import the conductor switch first...but what then? Before saving the imported configuration, do I have to add variables for the other stack members?

    If anyone has experience with this task, I would be very happy if he/she would share.

    Hi, 

    last reply on that thread is more than 6 years ago and ends with the same question how to import stacks retaining the configuration.

    Since the conductor already has all the config needed for VSF, does it work without any problems?

    you can refer to this start guide for AOS-S switches that covers variety of ways for configuration of AOS-S switches.

    Thank you,
    I used that guide already when I imported an AOS-S switch to Central and kept the configuration. There is no word written about VSF stacks, so I am not sure it works.
    Too bad I do not have 2  switches for a lab test.

    when you configure your template for stack, ensure you select All in the Model drop-down, or if you select a switch model and All in the Part Number drop-down, you can apply a template to both a standalone switch and stack.
