1131 AP12.4(3g)JA & 5508 V. 7.2.103

[Daniel Ordóñez Flores]

Hello Guys me Again I have some questions about this AP and it's IOS. I have some AP's 1131 and they have IOS 12.34(3g) JA I'm working with a 4402 WLC I'm going to change this WLC for one 5508 but this WLC has a different version software it has 7.2.103. My questions is I need to do any upgrade to my AP's IOS for join to the new WLC ?

I found a compatibility Matrix, in this document I guess i nedd to do some upgrade:

But I was checking this link

The WGB can be any autonomous access point that supports the workgroup bridge mode and is running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(3g)JA or later releases (on 32-MB access points) or Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JEB or later releases (on 16-MB access points). These access points include the AP1120, AP1121, AP1130, AP1231, AP1240, and AP1310. Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.4(3g)JA and 12.3(8)JEB are not supported.

This part of the document make me guess I don't have to do anything.

anyone knows if I really need to do an upgrade?

I don't need a minimun version of IOS on my AP's to join at the WLC 5508 ?

The only "minimum" version is the RCV lightweight IOS to enable your AP to find and join a WLC.

Your fine. This is how you can tell if the image is autonomous or lightweight.

C1130-K9W8-M

K9W8 is capwap
