Hi Rahul,

 

When you use journeys it will migrate the BIG-IP Configuration objects - vs,pools,pool members, nodes etc.  pre-configuration of the destination device network details should be completed prior to migrating a configuration.  Posting a snippet of the Journeys pre-req:

 

  1. Destination System preparation for JOURNEYS
    1. Destination BIG-IP should be in Active state.
    2. If migrating from BIG-IP 14.0.x or lower, ensure that mgmt-dhcp value in sys global-settings on the Destination System is set to either disabled or enabled. Any other values - namely dhcpv4 and dhcpv6, available starting at 14.1.0 - will cause an error during configuration loading.
    3. VLANs, trunks and interfaces should already be configured on vCMP, rSeries and VELOS systems. For more details, please refer to: Platform-migrate option overview: K82540512.
