I got a chance to experiment and test AP cat 9120 with the Cat9300UXM switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAt 9300 Can support Small Office with the requirement of 50-200AP and up to 4000* clients)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In SD-Access terms we can use Cat 9300 UXM Fabric in Box also (i will test that later blogs) – when DNAC is ready at Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, we do have Cat 9800 controller, but I would like to explore and test using Cat 9300 UXM in my test Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now IOS is Running : ( this is the requirement – requirement IOS XE 17.3.X)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

with the License as below :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

basic requirement SSH and HTTPS running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

#show ip http server status<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/x.x.x.x ( WLC Config only possible using GUI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be asked username and password (you have set up basic username password part of basic installation time as a quick setup)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Login to Cisco site software download and download Controller image<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy use GUI to upload the image (i generally do using Cli) – for change i would like to use GUI and test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

you can view the upgrade process on the right-side panel and also % of the installation process :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click show log what action taking background of the process :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once it is successfully, you will see a green tick for all the steps :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time for Click Save configuration and reload for the WLC package take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click YES to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After reboot, you see the Login screen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you Login you will see a small new icon in the GUI dashboard on the right side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This means it reads for WLC configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you click on WLC you get a pop-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click YES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Click OK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a few seconds you see the login screen again :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you login OLA…!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now Cat 9300 UXM is ready to use as WLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next section, I will cover configuring WLC and AP joining to WLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
