    Posted Mar 27, 2017 01:20 PM

    Hello everyone! 

    I have APs 135 and 3400 controller. I want to upgrade my network and I want change my old controller (3400) with new one 7030 and new Ap 305. But I have the some problem with controllers version in working old AP 135 and new 305. For AP 135 the last version is 6.4 and the first version for AP 305 is 6.5.1. Am I right? How can this AP (135, 305) works on one controller (7030) at the same time?

    The AP-135 is still supported in all latest firmware. The last supported firmware even has to be announced:

    http://www.arubanetworks.com/support-services/end-of-life/#AccessPoints.

     

    Minimum for the AP-305 is ArubaOS 6.5.1.0; so any version beyond that should work for you.

    Hey, I believe is possible to run the AP135 and AP305 on the same controller (7030) .

     

    Aruba 3400 controller will support the latest version of ArubaOS 6.4.x.

     

    The AP135 is showing TBD for the latest supported firmware on the EOL page (http://www.arubanetworks.com/support-services/end-of-life/) which suggests that 6.5.1 is still valid for the AP135.

     

    The AP305 needs a minimum of ArubaOS 6.5.1.0 to work.


    We can see that the AP135 was not in the deprecated list of hardware introduced in 6.5 (this list isn't available for 6.5.1.x)

    So I believe AP135 + AP305 + Controller 7030 is the way forward.
