Supported Access Points
Cisco (Current) Cisco (EOS) Meraki
Interoperability tests are not performed against 3rd
party access points, so compatibility can not be guaranteed with 3rd party access points.
Above are older platforms and not all are supported with the latest Cisco WLAN Controller versions.
No support for Cisco Meraki MR12, MR16, MR62, MR66, or Z1.

Best Practices Summary for 8821• Perform Site Survey and have solid 5GHz coverage
• Implement 802.11r / Fast Transition (FT) or Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM) to allow for fast secure roaming
• Certificates can be automatically installed via SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol)• SCEP is the standard for automatically provisioning and renewing certificates. It avoids
manual installation of certificates on your phones.
• You can still manually install certs via the phone webpage https://x.x.x.x:8443 by enabling “Web Admin” and password but SCEP is preferred
• Configure QoS, optimize 802.11 channels, power & data rates
• Consult 8821 Admin guide and datasheet
