Upgrade from Controller MC1500 5.1-75 to Controller MC1550-VE latest

Hello,

I have a project to upgrade a controller MC1500 5.1-75 to a controller MC1550-VE with the latest SD. We have 12 APs 1010 and one 1020e all running the image 5.1-75.

Do you have an recommandation about that ? Do you think I will have to re do all the config or can I simply migrate, smoothly ?

Thanks for help.

JB

The MC controllers follow an upgrade path, wich properly migrates the configuration across each GA release.  When setting up a new controller with the latest build, as in your case, it is recommended to redo the conifguration.  It would also be better to verify and take advantage of the new features that have been intrroduced with the latest SD release.
