Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers

We use it for wifi for our staff and students to connect to the network. It allows them to connect to the internet to access the internet.

Pros

  • Interface
  • Connectivity
  • AP management

Cons

  • WNCD
  • CSV rename APs
  • Mobility
  • Simple
  • Effective
  • But unstable
It is almost a requirement. It allows troubleshooting.
Fix WNCD they are always overloaded when mobility happens.
It has rebooted many times with WNCD issues.
Doing N+1 is hard to manage because I have to add the info to both controllers. It needs a management system. DNAC was not good for managing the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers.
