The XGS1930 and XGS1935 switches are part of different model series, meaning they have distinct hardware and firmware designs. As per the current firmware design, configuration settings cannot be directly transferred across different switch models.

However, we recommend the following approaches to ease the migration process:

  1. Set up Configuration Templates:
    • Navigate to Organization-wide > Organization-wide manage > Configuration templates.
    • Create templates for site-level configurations that are common and adjust them as necessary for individual switches.
  2. Utilize Port Profiles:
    • Go to Site-wide > Configure > Switches > Port profiles.
    • Create profiles with commonly used port settings to apply them more efficiently.
  3. Establish a Baseline XGS1935 Switch:
    • Manually configure a starter XGS1935 switch as a baseline.
    • Use features like 'Replicate Switch Configurations' or 'Site Configuration Template' to deploy settings to additional switches.

Note: Port configurations in templates can only be applied to switches of the same model.

If you wish to avoid manual recreation or human error, unfortunately, configuration duplication between different models is not supported due to model-specific software and hardware differences.
