Cisco AIR-CAP3702I-A-K9 compatibility in our environment

[kanuri_murthy]

Cisco has released EOL announcement for the existing access points used in our organization (AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9)

Validate if Cisco AIR-CAP3702I-A-K9 can be used in our current hardware and software release.

If not, what needs to be upgraded.

What controller model and software are you on?

If you are on a Gen2 or better, 5508/8510/5760/2504/WiSM2, then you can run the code that supports the 3702.

If you are on a Gen1 WLC, 440x/WiSM1/2106 then you would need to upgrade to a Gen2 controller to support the software.

Current SW version is 7.5.102.0.

And currently we have access points (AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9) Cisco has released EOL announcement for the existing access points.

And can we deploy Cisco AIR-CAP3702I-A-K9 can be used in our current hardware and software release.

If not, what needs to be upgraded.

yes the 5508 will support the 7.6 code, which you need to upgrade to so you can deploy the 3702 series access point.
