Hi Hillaryu, based on https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K9476, B2100 can support next versions11.5.0 - 11.5.6, 11.6.0 - 11.6.3, 12.0.0 - 12.1.3, 13.0.0 - 13.1.0

 

So, you can bring both boxes to the identical versions.

 

You can create HA across different platforms, but be aware that

 

  1. Mirror option will not work for you due to different DAG used across the platforms.
  2. Your weakest box need to be able to handle all the traffic which can be handled by the strongest box
