Hi all,
According to Cisco's official documentation, AireOS WLCs only support APs with FlexConnect Mode. Now, my question is: Does this limitation apply to Catalyst 9800 CL WLCs?
Thanks

Yes, you are right. AireOS WLCs support Local Mode APs but virtual AireOS WLCs only support FlexConnect Mode APs. Right?
Does this limitation applies to 9800CL WLCs? If no, which conditions force the 9800 WLC to do not offer Local Mode when I want to change the mode of the AP?
Thanks

Local Mode is supported. But make sure your WLC has the needed resources to handle the traffic. The option to put the AP into local mode can be found in the site-tag.
For the AireOS virtual WLC, although the AP is in FlexConnect mode, you can still run the WLAN with centralized switching.

How can I resolve the problem? As you can see, the 'Local' option is not available to select. I have cleared all configurations of the AP, but the problem persists...
Any ideas?
Thanks

The config is done in the site-tag.

Can you please help me on how can I change the config to resolve the problem?
