c25 controller .pfe extension and assume that this software will perform the same on a 5210 controller with an .rue extension

Wireless controller :
Is it a valid test to load software on a c25 controller .pfe extension and assume that this software will perform the same on a 5210 controller with an .rue extension

We have a customer that now wants to run all new software releases on a test network, before moving to a live enviroment . Currently they have a 2 x 5210 controllers Live, they are wanting to purchase a smaller controller possible c25 ( maybe 2 as the main units are HA ) load software and we also have a specific .php file .

My immediate reaction to this would be that this is not a valid test , though to be honest I have only upgraded two of these units ( 5210 in the past )

I look forward to your comments

I have also raised this as a TAC case.

Jacob , thanks for the reply .

I understand that , what I am after is if I load a version of code on the c25 ( .pfe extension ) and it all performs as expect .. ( test enviroment ) can I then load the correct verion of code on a c5210 HA with a .rue extension ( live network ) and expect it to operate as the test unit .. or to make sure there are no issues or bugs between the 2 versions do I need a c5210 in the test enviroment , to replicate .

So the question is , is the basic software and bugs the same for the c25 and the c5210 other than AP capacity .. oh ! and HA..
