Cisco 9800-CL WLC observations

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to share a few things trying to migrate a major business to the new 9800-CL in AWS this week.

A few issues observed and had to get TAC to help on a few things. Maybe these will be helpful to you.

The WLC we used was AireOS 8.0.152 running on 5508 and 8510 models.

AWS WLC running 16.10.1.

APs are 3702e and i

 

1- We could not get the APs to join the 9800 first. TAC asked us to disabled SSC validation, reboot the AP and then the APs joined the AWS WLC.

2- If you wanted to roll back, the APs did not join their original AireOS WLC either. We had to SSH to them or console and manually downgrade to 8.0.152 and then joined again.

 

Strange issues and certainly not very smooth but it works. Love the new 9800s.

 

Good luck!

 

Serge.

One more thing.

We have tested migration from vWLC running 8.5.135. No problems failing over APs and back again. This is certainly to do with 8.0.152.
