Moving from Switch to Router Code

Hello,

I need to move from switch to router code on a stack of ICX 7550s. Current software is 8095g and that wont be changing just moving to the router code version. 

Before this is done, I was wondering what the impact will be on the current configuration? Will all of the configuration transfer over? I am assuming it will but wanted to try and verify that before I make the change.  

Thanks

The biggest item to consider is IP addressing. Rather than a global IP address, you will now need to configure a VE and/or use the out of band mgmt port. I would advise doing the upgrade via physical console as you will likely lose IP connectivity as you switch to router code. Other than that, most things function exactly the same. 

Edit: You will need to add a default route and/or routing as well. Your default gateway statement will go away.

ip route 0.0.0.0/0 <gateway-ip-address>
