Testing Model
F5 Networks supports the functionality of Guided Configuration 8.0 on the most-used platforms and ensures support with the commonly used operating systems (OS) and browsers.
Refer to the article Supported upgrade path for Guided Configuration to get an overview and recommendations before planning for an upgrade to Guided Configuration.
Important: F5 recommends that you upgrade to the latest Guided Configuration version when it is available. However, you can only upgrade to one or two major versions later than your current version. For example, you can upgrade Guided Configuration 4.0 to 5.0 or 6.0, but you should not upgrade Guided Configuration 4.0 directly to 7.0.
