1 If you upgrade to the 7.1.91.0 software release of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller from an earlier release, we suggest that you also upgrade Cisco Wireless Control System to 7.0.220.0 and MSE to 7.0.220.0. This upgrade ensures that you get support for the latest 3600i and 3600e lightweight access points.

This upgrade ensures that you get support for the latest 3600i and 3600e lightweight access points.
Cisco Wireless Control System Compatibility Matrix
Table 11 lists the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) compatibility matrix.
Cisco WCS Navigator Compatibility Matrix
Cisco WCS and Cisco WCS Navigator must be from the same release in order to be compatible (see Table 12). 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.

1 Hierarchical Mobility (New Mobility) is supported on Cisco 5500 series controller and WiSM2 platforms.
2 Guest Anchor Termination is only supported on 5700 series controller, 5500 series controller, and WiSM2 platforms. The 5700 series controller, 5500 series controller, WiSM2, and Catalyst 3850 are all supported as foreign controllers.
3 Rogue Detector Mode is not supported on Catalyst 3850.
4 RRM Converged Access is compatible with the 7.3.112.0 controller software release but does not support RF Profiles and Groups.
5 No AP SSO support for Cisco 5700 series controllers. AP Intra-OS Platform Fast Failover Supported. AP Inter-OS Platform Image Download and Reboot performed.
