It is safe to add a preconfigured Ruckus switch to an Unleashed network?

[mikerm]

I'm fairly new to Unleashed, is it safe to add a Ruckus ICX switch that has already been configured and is in production to the Unleashed network (that has also been configured and in production)? I just want to make sure it won't wipe the config on the switch for some reason.

Hello Mikerm

Yes, it is generally safe to add a preconfigured Ruckus ICX switch to an Unleashed network. Adding a preconfigured switch to an Unleashed network does not automatically wipe its configuration. However, we always advice to have a backup of your configuration before proceeding. 

Onboarding Process:

• The switch will appear in a "Pending" state on the Unleashed dashboard if discovered via LLDP.
• You’ll need to manually approve it and provide the correct SSH credentials so Unleashed can manage it
