SSC v's MIC

[isoffice1]

Hi folks,

I have recently added some new APs to our existing network. I went through the process of updating them from autonomous to lightweight so as to manage them from a central controller (4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller).

However, the controller sees the certificate type on the new APs as MIC and the existing APs have SSC certificates. Is there any cause for concern here, if so, what would it be and how would I go about addressing this?

Many thanks for your assistance.

No concern.

After a certain date (2006 or sth ?), all aps cames with a manufactured installed certificate (MIC). Those APs can be converted from IOS to lwapp/capwap by a simple IOS swap.

Only older APs, not having a certificate require the lwapp upgrade tool to install a Self-signed (SSC) certificate on them.

No concern at all, see ? :-)
