Networking with Company Alumni?

Title summarized it, but I was wondering if it’s acceptable to network with professionals who used to work the same role as you before, and are now at a company you’re interested in. Is this acceptable? Primarily speaking to the IB to PE exit and networking with former employees at your IB firm. Thank you!
