Introduction to pp-adv-c9800-1715.1-52-73.0.0.pack.zip

This advanced protocol pack enhances Layer 3-7 service capabilities for Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controllers running IOS® XE Fuji 17.15.x. Designed for enterprise networks requiring granular traffic analysis, it integrates with Cisco DNA Center 2.3.10’s application visibility toolkit while maintaining backward compatibility with existing policy configurations.

The software supports both physical (C9800-40/80) and cloud-managed (C9800-CL) controllers deployed in SD-Access fabrics. Primary applications include healthcare IoT device management, financial transaction monitoring, and industrial control system (ICS) protocol optimization. The protocol pack requires base controller software version 17.15.1 for installation and operates without service interruption when deployed in HA pairs.
