C9117AXI-EWC-N: embedded-controller recovery ownership

C9117AXI-EWC-N retains the N suffix and EWC embedded-controller boundary in its exact PID. Do not infer a country from N; retain the actual Cisco compliance decision used for the destination.

For this N-domain EWC order, identify the access point that owns embedded management, the backup location and the administrator who can restore the site. Exercise a controlled loss of the active role, record the return of SSIDs and authentication, and retain destination authorization beside the serial.

Evidence required before acceptance

Save the full PID, carton label, IOS XE release, Smart Account assignment, configured country, controller-role screenshot, management address, PoE source and the 2.5GbE switch port. Add one successful restore and one representative client test so acceptance proves recoverability rather than only normal operation.

Procurement decision after support ended

Use this exact order only when an N-domain Embedded Wireless Controller is required and operational ownership has been assigned. Cisco lists April 30, 2021 as end of sale and April 30, 2026 as the last date of support.
