Have a new Catalyst 9300-48UN with all bells and whistles and it seems to act as a WLC regardless if the package is installed or not. Have tried a CAP2702 and it can connect to our standalone 9800 WLC, but neither 2800 or 9100 series APs will reach it. Looks like if it use Cisco U-Boot it may be affected.
A 9120 will boot up and in the end hang on this going on forever:

Any clues whats going on? Tried looking for simple images for the 9300 without all packages we dont need now.
