Hi,
Should I expect any incompatibility issues between these two software versions running at the anchor and foreign controllers? According to other posts in this forum, the anchor and foreign can run different software versions, but is this true when the software differs up to 5 versions?
Thanks.

Yes, typically Cisco recommend to keep it within 3 version. However, I do not expect anything to break between 8.5.x and 8.10.x anchoring.
Any way those two code versions are long live releases. So I would not see any problem of going with it (unless you can match versions)

Thank you Rasika,
In my case I need to update a pair of WLC 5520 (foreign) to the 8.10 in order to support the new Cat9120 but the anchors are 5508 which support 8.5 as the latest version.

Thanks Scott, but I don't see the combination of 5520 (foreign) and 5508 (anchor) at the "Wireless Controller Foreign and Anchor Support" table.
