9100系列AP在老的控制器上能否使用

[Z31407717]

9100系列的AP，能否在老的控制器上使用，比如5508、5520、2504上使用，还是要求特定的版本才可以？

C9100是最新的AP型号，对于老的控制器WLC2504和WLC5508肯定是不支持了，这两个型号的WLC最高版本到8.5.x，而针对WLC5520，目前依然在有更新的版本维护更新，可以支持较高的版本，例如8.10.x，支持C9100 AP.

应该从Release 8.9开始，WLC5520就可以支持C9100 AP，如下所示。

Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points

The Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points are IEEE 802.11ax standard compliant APs. The 802.11ax standard allows access points support more clients in dense environments and provides a better experience for typical wireless LAN networks. The 802.11ax standard also provides a more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices, and Internet of Things (IoT).
