Aironet 600 and Catalyst 3850

[Adrian Ardelean]

Hi all,

Is it possible to deploy Aironet 600 with 3850 switch? Or I really need 2500/5500/7500 WLC?

Thank you!

Hello Adrian,

This office extend AP can be placed directly to a dmz/router with switch in fashion. The fire wall should allow the capwap channel between you Ap and remote WLC , follow the below deployment

I meant to use it with 3850 as a WLC

NO, As per below OEAP600 is not supported by 3850. So you need any other controller model(like 2504, 5508,etc) to support OEAP600 series.
