Access point stateful switchover (SSO) to
a standby high-availability (HA) controller
a standby high-availability (HA) controller
A controller can be configured as the standby
(HA) controller to another controller designated
as the primary. The standby controller
synchronizes the access point license count,
access point roaming keys, and access point
CAPWAP state with the primary controller and
provides subsecond failover for thousands of
access points in case of outage on the primary
controller.

Right to Use (RTU) licensing on Cisco Flex
7500 and Cisco 8500 Series controllers

Honor-based licensing scheme allows access
point licenses to be enabled on supported
controllers with End User License Agreement
(EULA) acceptance.

RTU license scheme simplifies addition, deletion,
or transfer of access point adder licenses in the
field by eliminating the need for an additional step,
additional tools, or access to Cisco.com for PAK
license or return materials authorization (RMA)
transfers.

Device profiling with HTTP sensor for
local and FlexConnect modes

Controller detects the first HTTP packet from a
client and provides user agent data to ISE in a
RADIUS accounting message. This
information includes hardware type, hardware
manufacturer, operating system, browser type
and version.

Customers can prevent excessive bandwidth
usage on certain SSIDs (for example, guest) or by
specific users (bandwidth hogging) from affecting
other users on the network.
