Solved: Supported Access Points on WLC 5508

marco_bartulihe · ‎07-14-2011

Hello,

Please, I need an official document from Cisco saying the APs models supported by the WLC 5508. Specially, I need to know if the AIR-AP1242AG-T-K9, converted from standalone, will be supported by the 5508.

Regards,

Marco Bartulihe

Hi Marco,

Yes, a 1242 converted from Autonomous would be supported on the 5508

We have many AP's that were converted that are now working fine on our 5508's;

Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution Components

The following components are part of the Cisco UWN Solution and are compatible in this release:

•Software release 7.0.116.0 for all Cisco controllers and lightweight access points

•Cisco autonomous to lightweight mode upgrade tool release 3.0

•Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) software release 7.0.172.0

•Cisco WCS Navigator 1.6.172.0

•Location appliance software release 6.0.202.0

•Mobility services engine software release 7.0.201.0 and Context Aware Software

Note Client and tag licenses are required in order to retrieve contextual (such as location) information within the Context Aware Software. See the Release Notes for Cisco 3350 Mobility Services Engine for Software Release 6.0 for more information.

•Cisco 3350, 3310 Mobility Services Engines

•Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers

•Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controllers

•Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controllers

•Cisco 5500 Series Wireless LAN Controllers

•Cisco Flex 7500 Series Wireless LAN Controllers

•Cisco Wireless Services Module (WiSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers

•Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Network Module for Cisco Integrated Services Routers

Note The 7.0.116.0 release does not support the NM-AIR-WLC6 platform. The NME-AIR-WLC platform is supported.

•Catalyst 3750G Wireless LAN Controller Switches

•Cisco 3201 Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC)

•Cisco Aironet 1130AG, 1240AG, AP 1550, 1522, and 1524 Mesh Access Points

Note This release does not support Cisco Aironet 1505 and 1510 access points.

•Cisco Aironet 1100, 1130, 1200, 1230AG, 1240, 1250, AP1260, 1300, AP3500, AP 1040, OEAP 600 Series Access Points, 1522, 1524, 1550, 3500p, AP801, and AP802 Series Lightweight Access Points

Note Controller software release 5.0.148.0 or later is not compatible with Cisco Aironet 1000 series access points.

Note The AP801 is an integrated access point on the Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs).

Note The AP802 is an integrated access point on the Next Generation Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs).

Note Only Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g (AIR-MP21G) or second-generation 802.11a radios (AIR-RM21A or AIR-RM22A) are supported for use with controller software releases. The AIR-RM20A radio, which was included in early 1200 series access point models, is not supported. To see the type of radio module installed in your access point, enter this command on the access point: show controller dot11radio n, where n is the number of the radio (0 or 1).

Note The 1250 series access points have a hardware limitation where beacons can only be output at intervals that are multiples of 17 milliseconds. When these APs are configured for a 100-millisecond beacon interval, they transmit beacons every 102 milliseconds. Similarly, when the beacon interval is configured for 20 milliseconds, these APs transmit beacons every 17 milliseconds.
