AP / 3850 Compatibility

[Gareth Batley]

Hi,

I am finding the compatibility documentation for WLC/AP a little confusing. I think I have come to the conclusion that the AIR-AP1810W Access points are not compatible at all with 3850 switches running WLC.

Is anyone able to confirm whether this is the case?

Thanks in advance.

As per Compatibility matrix:

These AP not supported by 3850.

Hi,

It´s compatible. See the link bellow:

One thing to note is 16.3.x is the last supported version for "converged access". 

You will see something like below in 16.5.x release notes

• Converged Access (CA) is not supported beyond Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.x.
