Wireless Access

Hi guys,

One of my customers have an existing deployment which consists of 2x Mobility Conductor, 2x 7010 Mobility Controller, 32x AP (AP-207, AP-275, AP-303). All companents are running on 8.10.x, which is the max supported version for AP-207 and AP-275.

Now, they would like to include another building to the deployment. They have bought another 7010 and AP-615s for this purpose. However, min supported version for AP-615 is 8.11.x. Meaning, there is no common version for AP-600 and AP-207 / AP-275.

I am planning to use Multi-version feature. I will upgrade Mobility Conductors to 8.11.x, leave my existing cluster (it is located under a folder in the Managed Network main folder) on 8.10.x, and create another cluster (under another folder) with the new 7010 and AP-615s on 8.11.x.

Has anyone used multi-version feature before? Can I use it in this way? Any point that I need to pay attention to?

Thanks in advance.

That is exactly how you should be doing it.  You don't want the AP-615s to ever discover the controller on 8.10.x, however.
