Can any one please help with the procedure or documents?

If you are migrating switches on remote sites make sure you start with a switch you can get physical access to just in case you manage to lock yourself out.

Hi Jon,

Thanks very much for your help,the link is verymuch usefull for me.

yes i am doing the migration remotly, in this case i can take some local assistance for physical access to switch in case if i am locked out, could you please clarify

Once you have a working config then you should be fine remotely updating the switches. However when you are first testing this it is possible to lock yourself out of the switch/router so if you can test your config on a spare switch. if you don't have a spare switch test your config on a switch/router that is not critical in your environment.
