Can catalyst 9124ax join mobility express controller

adeebtaqui — Tue, 14 May 2024 22:24:57 GMT

Greetings,

We had deployed mobility express for wireless complrising of 2800 1800, 1542 6300.

But now we have to replace one faulty 1542 and as this is end of sale - catalyst 1542 is the optio

Can 9124ax join existing mobility express or should we go for embedded controller on 9124 and them make it as controller and all mobility express wireless access points as part of embedded controller

There is no plans for 9124 to be supported in AireOS nor Mobility Express.

Thanks @jagan.chowdam for sharing. Will we then need to reset all 30 plus mobility express access points for joining the embedded controller on 9124AX?

- You need to convert them to capwap mode according to
