Cloud Managed Networks

Good Afternoon,
    Can a 9012 Gateway be configured as a VPNC?  The documentation isn't all that clear.  

     More detail:

I have a situation where we are looking to refresh small network with a combination of multiple relatively small locations and ~25 RAPs.  Also looking to go to AOS10 during the migration.  Currently, the RAPs and all of the Campus APs (~50 total) are all being managed by a cluster of 2 7205 Gateways running 8.10 in WLAN mode. 

When I move to  AOS 10, I no longer need the Gateways for the Campus APs, but I will need a VPNC for the RAPs that will be converted to MicroBranch APs.  Since I only need ~25 Microbranch and there really isn't a direct replacement for the 7205 in the 9200 series, can use the 9012 as my VPNC to terminate the MicroBranch APs?

Thanks,

Bill
