WLC 5760 centralized mode Flexconnect support?

[patrick.kofler]

Hi all,

I am currently digging through the documentation about the 5760 WLC and converged access mode and found one particular information, which I need more clarification for.

This is the link

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps6302/ps8322/ps12598/qa_c67-726507.html

And here the specific snippet:

Q. What deployment modes can the Cisco 5760 WLC and Cisco Catalyst 3850 support?

A. The Cisco 5760 WLC can operate in centralized mode (also known as local  mode) as well as converged access mode, whereas the Cisco Catalyst 3850  operates in converged access mode. At this time, there is no support  for office-extend access points, indoor or outdoor mesh, or FlexConnect  access points on the Cisco 5760 WLC and Cisco Catalyst 3850.

Now my questions are:

• Does this apply to the converged access mode only or also centralized mode?
• Do 5508/WiSM2 WLCs still support APs in the specified modes even when using the new mobility architecture?
• When is it planned to add support for the new platforms, if at all?

Hoping for some answers!

Regards,

Patrick
