Mismatched AOS between master and local

    Is it possible to join a local controller to a Master controller which has a lower code version. I assume this would not be best practice but want to know if its technically possible.

    This is technically possible.  However, not recommended as you point out.  I have seen the same major/minor in the same master-local cluster...however, have not attempted anything jumping major code bases.

    While on the master controller i could see IPSec sa information, but no entry in the show switches on the master so for some reason there was no master-local sync between the two. I wondered whether the code needed to be the same for them to pair-up.

    MattF,

     

    If there is a . release difference between the codes, it should not be an issue.  If there is more than a dot release, it is not tested and could be an issue.

    The master is running 6.1.3 and the local is running 6.3 so i guess they will not form a relationship.
