Code Downgrade from 7.4 to 7.0

bret — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:13:12 GMT

Working on a project consolidating all controllers to a single 8500 controller with a standby. Moved an AP over to test the process and everything worked fine. Took a little longer than I thought it would, but given the design with new flexconnect abilities, the creation of AP groups well you know.

I get the AP over and one of my ssids doesnt work because the key is different, so gotta move the AP back over to resolve production issues.

Are there any none issues when downgrading from 7.4 to 7.0?

Thanks in advance.

In my experince is when you configure any of the new features in the advance code (7.4 for exmaple) and then you downgrade you lose those configs. On a normal controller I havent had any issues.

Geroge thanks for the quick reply. Guess I sould have been more clear - totally my bad. I just need to downgrade the AP - have you seen issues with that?

Just to add.... what are you downgrading.... the 8500 supports 7.3.101.0 or newer.

Thanks,

Well like George mentioned, you can, but the AP's will downgrade and any features that you were using on v7.4, that are not on v7.0, will not be implemented. So be careful and look at the configs on both just to be on the safe side.

Make sure the AP supports v7.0.... take a look at the matrix below:
