# Extreme Networks

Hamina Network Planner includes integration with ExtremeCloud IQ and Extreme PlatformONE, which can be used to import to and export from Hamina Network Planner to Extreme Networks infrastructure.

For integration with ExtremeCloud IQ, ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot is required.

The **Export** function rapidly deploys a new site, or updates an existing site directly from Hamina Network Planner. This removes the need for any repeat map-based deployment work - all of the mapping work is automatically copied directly from Hamina Network Planner.

The **Import** function can speed up initial project creation by importing the floorplan and access point locations of an existing site directly from CloudIQ.

## Generating an API Token

There are two keys that you can use to authenticate Hamina Network Planner to ExtremeCloud IQ:

* A bearer token, which will expire. For more information, consult [Extreme's API key generation documentation](https://documentation.extremenetworks.com/XIQ/user_guide/GUID-B419B88D-9272-419D-A6F1-962785BA6AC0.shtml).
* A Developer API Key, which can be configured to not expire.

We recommend creating a **Developer API Key** for ExtremeCloud IQ, which can have a much longer duration. 

### Generating a Developer API Token

Creating the Developer API token requires two steps:

1. Authenticate with a username and password to generate a bearer token.
2. Perform an API call with the bearer token to generate the Developer API token.

### Exporting from Hamina to Extreme IQ

There are two primary ways to export from Hamina to Extreme:

* Choose **Matched access points** and **Unmatched access points**. In this case, Hamina will randomly assign access points to the map, with respect for each model.
* Choose **Match names to APs** before the export. This gives you precise control over exactly which AP goes where.

To match names to APs:

1. Name the access points in Extreme IQ.
2. Use identical names for access points in Hamina Network Planner.
3. Check **Matched access points**, also **Unmatched access points**, and **Assign unmatched access points by name** in Hamina Network Planner.
4. Export from Hamina Network Planner to Extreme.
