AIR-AP1815W GUI different then on Cisco official guides

Andre Napiorkowski — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 07:49:19 GMT

Hello.
I've got AIR-AP1815W-E-KE. I read the official Cisco manuals and guides about configuration and what puzzles me is that the GUI shown in the pictures is completely different than on my device.
Here is an example:

GUI from "AP 1815 Wall Plate Deployment Guide"

My GUI

Image 8.10.162 installed.

Could someone please explain to me what is wrong?

Hi The picture shown in the guide is a full fledged controller (could be virtual or physical), but in your case you are running the WLC in the AP it self (AP doubles down as AP and WLC). This is known as the Mobility express WLC and this is a toned down version. So there will be a feature parity as well as changes on GUI. Below is configuration guide for the Mobility express which you are running in your AP.

Thanx for your reply. I am actually looking for a guide on how to configure LAN ports on my device and everything I found only shows such a GUI. Is there any guide for my device in CLI on this topic?

If Arshad link doesn't work, you might need to upgrade as there are reports that this feature wasn't available in earlier versions
