10,000 APs. 3,308 switch members. The control plane is ready — the urgency lives in the access layer. 78.2% of the fleet just entered EoS process in March/2026.

Plug a W7 AP into our fleet. Five outcomes.

10,000 APs classified
by upstream switch
GREEN — W7 Ready
0 APs · 9.6%
Switch: C9300X-48HX · 802.3bt Type 4 · mGig 10G uplink
Result: AP boots at full spec — MLO triple, 320 MHz @ 6 GHz, 4×4 MIMO · 18-30 Gbps
90W PoE 10G mGig IOS-XE 17.12+ CatCenter native
GOOD — Dual-stream W7
0 APs · 1.2%
Switch: C9300-24UB / 48UB · UPOE 60W · mGig available
Result: Three radios on, MLO restricted to 2 bands — partial W7 · ~3-5 Gbps
60W UPOE MLO 2-band only IOS-XE managed
AMBER — Throttled
0 APs · 38.4%
Switch: C9300-24P / 48P · PoE+ 30W · 1G uplink
Result: AP boots — 6 GHz radio OFF, 4×4→2×2 chains, 1G uplink saturates silicon · Wi-Fi 6-ish ~1-2 Gbps
30W PoE+ 6 GHz disabled 1G bottleneck IOS-XE managed
RED — Blocker
0 APs · 21.1%
Switch: Cat 2960-X · Cat 3850 · Cat 3560CX · IOS 15.x fixed · 1G only
Result: 30W PoE+ sometimes, 1G fixed, not manageable by CatCenter — no SGT · no telemetry · no W7 feature gate
IOS 15.x classic Not CatCenter native No SGT / telemetry 30W PoE+ (sometimes)
? — Unmatched
0 APs · 29.6%
Domain: Housing IT · separate Catalyst Center domain · audit C018 / C020 / C022 / C024
Result: Unknown — does not block Arena pilot. Wave 2 reconciliation required.
Separate domain Wave 2 scope Needs audit
Operational truth
Plug a W7 AP into 30W PoE+ → it boots without the 6 GHz radio. Plug it into a 2960-X → CatCenter cannot manage it. Only 9.6% of the fleet clears both gates today.

Diagnostic summary · three constraints
82.5% of switch members cap PoE at 30W — the 6 GHz radio never comes up. 27% of members are on 1G-only uplinks — the uplink saturates before the silicon. 35 distinct IOS versions on the switch layer vs one on APs — automated W7 policy enforcement is blocked. All three constraints have the same fix: Cat 9300X + IOS-XE 17.12+.
