AireOS Wireless LAN Controller Software Release Compatibility Matrix

Note Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) was renamed as Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS), of which the first compatible release was 1.1.0.58. After the NCS 1.1.1.24 release, NCS was renamed as Cisco Prime Infrastructure, of which the first release is 1.2.0.103. The 7.3.101.0 controller software release is not compatible with NCS 1.1.1.24. Cisco Prime Infrastructure is required to support the new features in controllers introduced in the 7.3.101.0 controller software release.

WCS and Navigator Compatibility

Cisco WCS and Cisco WCS Navigator must be from the same release in order to be compatible (see Table 10). Although the release numbers will not be the same, you must verify whether they were part of the same release.

For example, Cisco WCS Navigator 1.0 is compatible with Cisco WCS 4.1, and Cisco WCS Navigator 1.1.x is compatible with any Cisco WCS 4.2.x.

Note When Cisco WCS Navigator is upgraded to a new version, the corresponding Cisco WCS must also be upgraded to the corresponding new version. For example, if Cisco WCS Navigator is upgraded to version 1.6, Cisco WCS must also be upgraded to the corresponding version 7.0.
