Ap230 firmware upgrade?

[Ntegeibra]

Hi community, i recently bought a couple of ap230z off Ebay . Is it possible to just onboard them to my xiq and just configure and deploy them without upgrading to recent firmware image?

And also can i operate them in stand-alone mode?

Thanks .

Hello @Ntegeibra,
Yes, you can onboard AP230Z units to ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ) without a firmware upgrade, but functionality may be limited or unstable. For optimal performance and compatibility, updating to the latest firmware is strongly recommended. Stand-alone mode is not officially supported for AP230Z; they are designed to operate under cloud or controller management.

Thanks for that, but i think i won't be able to upgrade the firmware because these are second hand from ebay. I dont have an extreme portal account to download the firmware and even if i try to register for one, its close  impossible to get an account. I think i will just run them with the old software as it is for as long as they can hold out till the old firmware isn't supported nomore.
