I believe C) Yes, the configuration will be migrated successfully during any downgrade could be the correct answer. It makes sense that the configuration would be maintained.

But what if we need to downgrade for compatibility reasons?

I'm just going to go with my gut and say 'No, downgrades are only permitted if the target version was previously installed.' It sounds like the safest bet to me.

We can try to find a workaround in the current version instead.

Wait, wait, wait. Did I just hear someone say that a newer version is chronologically older? That makes no sense! I think we need to re-read the question carefully.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option C. If the configuration is migrated successfully, then the downgrade should work, right? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Hold on, are you telling me that I can't downgrade my RiOS at all? That's not what I heard. I thought it was possible, but maybe I'm mistaken.

I think the key here is whether the target version has been installed on the appliance before. If it hasn't, then I'm pretty sure the downgrade won't be successful.

Wow, this is a tricky question! I'm not sure if I can downgrade my SteelHead without any issues. I've heard that downgrades can be a real pain in the neck.
