Cisco Catalyst IW9167E wired1(SFP) interface

Cisco Catalyst IW9167E  wired1(SFP) interface will support Data/managment traffic both ?

Yes, the Cisco Catalyst IW9167E's wired1(SFP) interface can support both data and management traffic, but it depends on how the interface is configured. By default, interfaces can be configured for data traffic, while management traffic (like for device management or control plane protocols) typically goes through a dedicated management interface.

If you want to configure the wired1(SFP) interface to carry both data and management traffic, you would need to ensure that both data VLANs and management VLANs are properly configured on the interface.

Actually @dexterhale398 on a Cisco CAPWAP AP client data and CAPWAP management almost always go over the same port so "typically goes through a dedicated management interface" just is not true!  That sounds suspiciously like an AI bot answer.

The AP can be used with SFP port only so just like any other Cisco CAPWAP AP the data and management will be over that port.

Well that would only apply if there are flex local switching WLANs.  If they're all centrally switched then no VLANs are required at all because the client data is all tunnelled to the WLC.

@rahul08820 the short answer is YES.
