AP Packet Capture on 9800 controller

[SondreSandberg]

Hi guys, trying AP packet capture on the 9800 controller for the first time.

Does it work with AP's in flex mode? 

I'm trying to start a AP packet capture on AP's running in flex mode, but getting a error: Error in Configuring Access point is not capable of packet capture. The AP is a 9120i. I've configured a capture profile in the AP join profile (the client I'm trying to packet capture is associated to a AP with the correct  AP join profile)

                 Feature is only available for IOS APs (Like AP 3702).

Thank you.

I thought the 9120 would go under that category, as it runs IOS ® XE. How can I check which AP's are IOS AP's?

All 802.11ac Wave 2 APs (1800/2800/3800/4800) & 802.11ax APs (CAT91xx series) are COS based APs. All other APs are IOS based APs ( 17xx/27xx/37xx/16xx/26xx/36xx)

Interesting, thank you.

Do I need to remember which AP's are IOS and which are COS or is there any way I can check it on a specific AP (through CLI og product-sheet)?
