Upgrade legacy equipment - recommendations

bruno.medrado — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 11:21:27 GMT

I have in the environment where I manage some legacy equipment. My question is: what is the latest recommended version to update controllers and APs and where can I get these updates to download?

Versions follow:

Controllers: Model 2504, Current Version: 7.6.130.0

APs: Model 2602I-T-K9, Current Version: 15.3.3-JF15

You can not directly upgrade from 7.X to 8.5

you need to go to 7.X to 8.2.X ... then 8.5

Note: Make Sure your AP's are compatible with 8.5 Code - check the compatibility before you upgrade controllers.

- Future path for controller is the 9800 platform with it's variants , you may for instance start with virtual/cloud controller , for access points browse from here : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/access-point-controller-selector.html

I'm a beginner and normally a partner who took care of these matters. If you can (have the time and patience) to detail a little more how this operation should be. I couldn't find, not at least clearly for me, the versions supported by my APs and controllers, can you help me with that too? Up to which version can I update and how should I proceed with this update? Always from one version to one?
