Good news! Prime Infrastructure 2.1 is out and available. But instead of getting a upgrade path from 1.4 we only get a 2.0 -> 2.1 upgrade. It seems that all that was promised in the 2.1 upgrade the last 6 months are postponed to 2.2. So no new LMS features, and were still waiting on the 7.6x wlc features.
I´ll be honest that i´m not the biggest fan of Prime. Too many bugs, slow feature turnaround. I´m personally prone to lean towards Solarwinds and HP´s IMC for many tasks, but Cisco´s getting there. If they hold true to their promise and deliver feature parity with LMS in 2015 and get rid of their stupid license department, they´ll have a kille product. But that´s many if´s…
New Features
- Support for the new Catalyst 3650.
- Support for all the new 802.11ac AP´s (3700, 2700 etc…).
- AVC gets some UI improvements.

I just wish that they would do something about the 15+ min. boot time and service restart. It´s a killer !
Hello, I’d appreciate it If you can let me know more about what exactly you mean by stupid licensing. Just for the sake of my knowledge. Thanks in advance
Regarding stupid licensing its just a personal opinion coming from hard earned experience :-) Licensing is obfuscated and with Cisco One its even more obfuscated.
