Wireless WLC & ISE Compatibility

[jinapark]

Hi team,

Is ISE 2.0 and 2.1 code will compatible with WLC 8.0.133?

I saw about 8.0.130 version information in compatibility document but, as far as I know the 130 version contains

only bug fixed. 8.0.130 means including all the minor codes?

Especially for WLC5520 with 8.0.133. I've checked the latest answer about it and I found out that

The 5520s are new and shipped with 8.1 code which is why it is in the compatibility guide with 8.1.131.0.

But, if the customer need to use 8.0.133 code in their WLC, will it still work well with ISE 2.0 or 2.1 version?

Thanks always for your support.

Please refer to the following regarding the recommended WLC versions to use with ISE:

TAC Recommended AireOS Builds - Cisco

For general guidance, refer to Compatibility guide here:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/2-1/compatibility/ise_sdt.html#24274

The ISE docs are the primary reference for all access devices, but the WLC article from TAC provides finer detail and more current updates specific to WLC.

It is not the case that one WLC version works and another does not, but there will be feature enhancements which may or may not be related to ISE as well as various defects which are opened or closed.
