When migrating configurations from the XGS1930 series switches to the XGS1935 series, it is important to note that these are different models with distinct firmware and hardware designs. This means some features, like "Backup & Restore" and "Replicate," are only supported within the same model and cannot directly transfer between these series.

Recommended Steps for Migration:

  1. Use a Configuration Template:
    • Go to Organization-wide > Organization-wide manage > Configuration templates.
    • Create a template for the general switch settings and fine-tune specific settings as needed.
  2. Utilize Port Profiles:
    • Navigate to Site-wide > Configure > Switches > Port profiles.
    • Create port profiles for common port settings to streamline configuration.
  3. For new XGS1935 switches, configure a "starter" switch, then use it as a source for replicating configurations or applying templates to other XGS1935 models.

Since configurations are model-specific, manual replication of unique port configurations will be required. At this time, no global feature supports cloning per-device configurations across different switch models like the XGS1930 and XGS1935.
