If you upgrade wlc IOS software, does the APSP and APDP will be upgraded, or do you need to upgrade it separately?

Also, what is the difference between APSP and APDP?

>...APSP: AP bug fixes, PSIRTs, or minor features that do not require any controller changes.
APDP: Support for new AP models without introduction of new hardware or software capabilities.

- These are addons for a specific release (if needed) and must be added and or installed manually ,

No. APDP is aimed at the WLC. APSP is aimed at the AP.

APSP will cause the APs to reboot.

when converting an AP from aireos what image do I need to download?

JPavonM · ‎08-08-2023

AP will autodownload the image from WLC for that model (only if the AireOS AP is from model x700/x800 series) so you don't have to be concerned about that.

Usually APSP are addressed to COS-APs.
