SUMMARY
The software suggestion API returns wrong data for some models of 5508 Wireless LAN Controller.
ISSUE
When using this API endpoint:
https://api.cisco.com/software/suggestion/v2/suggestions/releases/productIds/
The API responds with wrong data for some 5508 Wireless LAN Controller SKUs.
These partcodes all give unexpected results:
- air-ct5508-ha-k9
- air-ct5508-100-k9
- air-ct5508-250-k9
When the above SKUs are called, the API responds with a list of possible software versions that includes v8.5 and v8.10 code. The 5508 WLC cannot run 8.10 code - it is an invalid software suggestion.
These partcodes, all from the same product family as above, all behave ok:
- air-ct5508-12-k9
- air-ct5508-25-k9
- air-ct5508-50-k9
- air-ct5508-500-k9

RESPONSE:
Note that any responses below that talk about "5520", "APIC", or "8.10.x.x" code versions, are inappropriate / wrong given the input.
