server to a release that is not supported as an upgrade path, you might corrupt
the translations.

controller and any LSPs or ESSs. If the software loads of the primary controller
and the LSPs/ESSs are incompatible, then file synchronization between the
primary controller and the LSPs/ESSs can cause translation corruption on the
LSPs/ESSs.
