Hi,

You can "view" your macfilter list on the current WLC with

> show macfilter summary

You could then script out adding them to your WLC.

Also; and probably easier

>show run-config commands

Find the section that has your macfilter statements and copy them out and paste to the new WLC.

>show run-config commands

macfilter add XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 0 management Test

From the config> prompt

>config
config>macfilter add

Just paste in the list you have.

David:

Ur answer is great. Thank u.

I never needed to migrate Mac addresses but also never came to my mind the idea of show-run commands.

For the script thing, how can that be done?

Do u mea terminal program script? Or shell script?

If the latter I appreciate if u write very simple sample about how to do it.

Thanks.

Any method you want for scripting. You could use PHP and make a ssh connection to the WLC or you could simply copy paste all the commands into a notepad doc and then copy paste to the WLC. A bash script could be used as well.

The shell script isn't the hard part, google will help you there. The harder part is getting the data out of the WLC.

I understand some of what u say.

But if I am using windows for example or if I am doing sash from another Cisco device how can I employ the script?

If using Linux bash script will be very useful. Although not an expert, but I think she'd or awk will be very useful to extract the data. Right?
