Upgrading to 7200 controllers

  • 1.  Upgrading to 7200 controllers

    Posted Sep 03, 2014 02:56 PM

    Hi all,

     

    We currently are running a 3200 as the master controller and 2-M3s as the local controllers.  We would like to replace the M3s with the 7200s.  We would like to leave the 3200 as the master.  Will the configuration be pushed fine from the 3200 to the 7200s?  What code version should be be on to make this as seemless as possible?  We are on 6.3.1.3 code currently.  Any insight is appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Bill

    Are they 3200XMs?

    Yes, as long as all of the controllers are on the same code, the config will be pushed down.

     

    All of the next generation firewall features (AppRF 2.0) can be configured on the legacy master but the actual feature sets will only apply where traffic is terminated (locals). Keep that in mind if you're planning on any fail over to the master. For example, while DPI policies can be configured on the 3200, those policies will not be applied if APs fail over to that controller. 

     

    The latest 6.3 build or 6.4.0.3 should be done.
