Can we use jboss-cli from JBoss EAP 7 to connect to a JBoss EAP 6?

Issue

When using jboss-cli from JBoss EAP 7 to connect to a default installation of JBoss EAP 6 the connection succeeds.

However, if we change the native port in JBoss EAP 6 to any value (regardless the approach - port-offset, JVM parameter, etc.), the connection fails with the following output:

Failed to connect to the controller: The controller is not available at localhost:10099: java.net.ConnectException: WFLYPRT0053: Could not connect to http-remoting://localhost:10099. The connection failed: WFLYPRT0053: Could not connect to http-remoting://localhost:10099. The connection failed: XNIO000812: Connection closed unexpectedly
