Deployment Scenario 3: Migrating an Existing Stack to Campus Fabric

An existing ICX 7450 or ICX 7250 stack can be migrated into the Campus Fabric domain with ZTP. Both linear stacks and ring stacks can be migrated.

Note: Ruckus recommends using the SPX interactive-setup utility with option 2 to convert an existing linear or ring stack to PEs.
