You must also upgrade to 7.5 or later to enable 'New mobility'. If you can't do this yet, avoid mixed environments to prevent mobility issues.

Cisco has some nice bundles but we are trying to determine if they are right for us. A big issue is the divergent paths Cisco is taking on wireless. Should we invest in a pair of 5508 which may be good for a 3-4 years? Or, should we jump into the Converged world of 3850s and 5760s? What will I be losing by moving off of the 5508/WiSM2s? I have read that clients cannot seamlessly roam between APs on different platforms. Is that still true? We have a layer 2 design so clients will be keeping their IP addresses. But, what happens to the 802.1X authentication? If clients have to re-authenticate as they move from AP-converged to AP-AireOS, that can be a problem for the areas where the two overlap.
