Hi all,


Is it possible to use different model of controllers (such as AC6505 and AC6508) in same failover cluster?

On normal situations we are using two same model controllers with same os version installed on them but this is different case. We don't tried this yet but I want to know can this case work fine or not.

On normally when we build failover cluster we are using vrrp protocol on Huawei controllers, because of them we don't need both of them should be same model. If both of them supports vrrp it should be work But I think when one of them is different model then they can't syncronize configuration and in this case we need to buy ap licenses for each one separatly.

Is that true or what is actually true?

Hello


In the link below you can find the comparison of Backup Modes and the constraints of each ones. In case of VRRP HSB, the models and software versions of the active and standby ACs must be the same.

Thanks for your comments, I know that this is possible when the controller models and versions are same, I am using it. But I want to know is that possible if controllers are different models.
