CW9166l-MR in Catalyst Managed Mode and failover configuration

[Shyam1]

Hi Team,

Kindly let me know how can I manage CW9166l-MR in Catalyst Managed Mode and how can i configure failover in Master AP and Secondary Master AP , Tertiary Master AP and so on.

That would be something for the main Cisco forums, here is for Meraki Managed products.

Do you want to manage it using a 9800 or Mobility Express controller?

Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I am preferring to convert CW9166l- MR from Meraki to Catalyst and manage it on prem.

Kindly let me know if it can be managed via EWC / on prem controller like C9800 .

If yes,please share the part numbers for ordering.

Regarding failover, I'm looking for a configuration guide which helps me in failover of Master AP to Secondary Master AP, if secondary Master AP fails , Master role must move on to Tertiary AP.

I don't think so, since the end of EWC's life cycle has been announced.

You'll need a Catalyst 9800.

And if you see this model, it's not even listed.
