Catalyst 9800-CL guest anchor

[JWC929]

I see that the Catalyst 9800-CL supports being a Guest Anchor where the AireOS vWLC did not in the past.  Has anyone implemented this yet?  I think this could potentially be a cost savings over physical controllers in our environment.

If it matters, the foreign controllers would be 5520's.

Haven't tried it myself, would need to look at the cravats of anchor between 9800 and AIROS controllers:

That being said, using the CL you could always just deploy as a test to find out just cost you some time and VM resources to test out
