Upgrade WLC 5508 to 7.4.121.0 problem

After I upgraded WLC 5508 from 7.2.111.3 to 7.4.121.0, all 3602i APs don't associate with the controller.  All APs were working/associating with controller on 7.2.111.3 at same setting.  IP address of APs are setup as DHCP.
The error message is "AP couldn't get IP address".   
Any one has this type of problem when you upgrade WLC 5508 from 7.2.111.3 to 7.4.121.0.
Thanks,

Hi,
This doesn't look like software issue.
You have to check why the APs are not able to get ip address. Try connecting a PC to a swtich port where one of these APs are connected and see if you are able to get IP on PC.
Also check if the DHCP server is reachable and if there are IP address in the pool assigned for APs.
HTH,
Thanks & Regards,
Ishant

  • Upgrade WLC 5508

    I'm trying to upgrade my Cisco WLC 5508 with 125 AP's from 7.0.116 to 7.4.110, so it can support the new AIR-CAP2602 and the old AIR-LAP1142 at the same time, but for some reasons the AP's will not accept the new software.
    (Cisco Controller) >show boot
    Primary Boot Image............................... 7.0.116.0 (default) (active)
    Backup Boot Image................................ 7.4.110.0
    I have tried to predownload the new image to all AP's from the WLC, and it sucses, but the predownloaded image was not copied into the Backup image.

    When I then re-boot the WLC on the new software (7.4.110), the AP's just show up in the GUI as "downloadning" and the the AP's re-boot. This going on and on, so I had to force the WLC to reset on the old software (7.0.116).
    I think my problem is, that the AP's have the same image atached to both Primary and Backup, so my question is:
    How do I clear the information about the Backup image in the AP's and downlod the new image to the AP's?
    Can I ftp/tftp the new image direct to the AP's and Then do any configurations at the AP's to make it the Backup image?
    THX Frank

    Hi Frank,
    (Cisco Controller) >show bootPrimary Boot Image............................... 7.0.116.0 (default) (active)Backup Boot Image................................ 7.4.110.0
    Since your controller backup image is 7.4.100.0, when you pre-download the image to AP use the following ("backup" keyword instead of "primary")
    (Cisco Controller) >config ap image predownload backup all
    Then check "show ap image all" to confirm that new image version shown as pre-downloaded image version in your APs.
    Then you can go ahead & swap the image on all your APs using
    (Cisco Controller) >config ap image swap all
    Then you can change the boot image on WLC to pointing to 7.4.110.0 & reset your controller.
    (Cisco Controller) >config boot backup
    (Cisco Controller) >show boot
    Primary Boot Image............................... Code 7.0.116.0 (active)

  • Questions for upgrade WLC 5508

    I need to update a 5508 WLC 7.2.103 to a version that supports the Access Point 2600 model, but the WLC administer it with a WCS version 7.0.230, which is the next version of software that supports the Access Point 2600 model and if that version is compatible with the WCS that I have?

    Depending on what code version you require on the WLC, here is a matrix that will explain wht versions are compatible.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html
    If you stay with v7.2.103.0, then you need NCS 1.1.0.58.  Prime Infrastructure replaces both WCS and NCS so you might look at the upgrade from WCS to Prime Infrastructure.

  • Upgrade WLC 5508 to 7.3x or 7.4x?

    Hi Community,
    In order to enbale HA SSO on our two 5008 WLC's, I plan to upgrade them to 7.3 / 7.4 (currently 7.2)
    Right now 7.3.112.0 is the latest release. We do not have any 1600 series AP's, which requires 7.4.
    So here's my question..any reason going for 7.4 directly..or not going for it?
    Thanks for your thoughts/input,
    Stefan

    There are a lot of open bugs in both versions which is the problem. We have had customers go from the 7.3 to 7.4 then to the latest 7.3 and they still have HA issues. We have had a few just get rid of the HA and go with the normal two WLCs with license model. Since many have hit different bugs, I can't really tell you which one pisses them off more.

  • Wlc 5508 inaccessible after upgrade to version 8

    dear all,
    I have a problem after upgrading wlc 5508, 
    at first after upgrade everything works fine, but while waiting for APs to rejoin, wlc suddenly inaccessible either via SSH, telnet or console
    I have restart the wlc with no luck
    LED indicator for SYS and ALR are off
    any suggestion will be highly appreciated
    thanks
    regards

    If the appliance failed in the first month after delivery, you might be able to squeeze off an RMA. 
    If the appliance failed in the first year after delivery, I don't care what is written in the "warranty", you can't do anything until you have a valid Service Contract.

  • WLC 5508 and 7.4.110.0 and AP Blackhole?

    So large customer had WLCs running 7.4.110.0 and it appears there was either a 3500/3600 AP memory leak or a CCKM roaming issue. The APs would occasionally blackhole traffic. You could see 2+ APs at -67dbm in 5GHz.  Phones are locked to 5GHz, data rates matched. .  Phone showed good strong signal, but   7925 users would report every couple days the phone dropping/DHCP timeout, re-registering, etc.  We had a large CSE/TAC group onsite audit the 7925 Deployment Guide and setup, and we did a lot of cleanup but never hit the silver bullet.
    After upgrading the 5508 to  7.4.121.4  (TAC special not on Cisco.com) they reported the 7925 problems have improved.  Only been 1 day so far.
    There is also a WPA2 with Preshared Key  CCKM bug with the 7925s that roaming takes 2s.  Use either strong WEP or buy 7926s, or use EAP/certificates, etc. https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCtt38270
    7.4.121.0 Release Notes
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74mr02.html#wp1142453
    We are running daily Traffic Stream Metrics (TSM) reports from Prime/WLC, and exporting the CallManager Diagnositc LQK records (export via CAR) to show if things are improving/etc.

    Thanks Stephen, In my deployments of 7.4.110.0 version I have not seen this issue so may be controller reboot will fix it (we do have HA to minimize the impact). I will keep the thread updated with findings and may request TAC for the special release 7.4.121.0 if the still not happy with 7.4.110.0

    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/message/guide/msgs4.html#wp1000139
    Appreciate all feedback. Thank you.

    Hi Ruben,
    a) After successful dot1x authentication, session keys are derived from pairwise master key.
    b) When the AP transmits a key to a station by default, it expects a response back within a set timeframe.
    c) If the station does not respond, the AP increments the counter and retransmits the key.
    d) If the AP receives a response to first message just after the retransmission of the key, a mismatch occurs in the counter.
    This in most of the cases will be a client driver problem.
    Solution :
    1) try to increase the EAPOL-Key Timeout ( config advanced eap ).
    2) Upgrade the client driver.

    I agree go to version 7.4.121.0 I has some strange issues on prior releases. Personally I am running 7.6.120.0 right now but that's mainly due to support for the 3702 access points.

    that's a good guide just to double check yourself just in case. -

  • WLC 5508 in HA pair (7.4.121.0) sudden reload

    I have a pair of WLC 5508 in HA pair running version 7.4.121.0, last week I have two sudden reload on my active WLC. Here's the error from my syslog server on the first sudden reload. The second reload has almost the same logs.

    Cisco TAC recommends to disable monitoring the default gateway.
    --> config redundancy management-gateway-failover disable
    I was wondering if someone has the issue with what I have.
    Second issue I have is when it fails over to the standby WLC, I do get a web-auth certificate error from the WLC when clients login. This only happens after a sudden reload. If I do a redundancy force-switchover during maintenance window, the certificate error doesn't show up. To fix the certificate error I have to bounce both WLCs one after the other.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I exeprienced a reload problem in standby WLC, with HA in release 7.6.100.0.
    I use a dedicated VLAN to transport the redundancy sync and info, 'cause the two WLCs are in different buildings.
    The standby WLC reload continuously 'cause it doesn,t find the default gateway.

    Rebooting as default GW is not reachable from Standby Controller
    Restarting system. Reason: Default Gateway is not reachable ..
    The problem is that the WLC tries to ping the DGW using the primary IP management address belonging to the active WLC, so we have duplicated IP problem, ARP problem and so on .....
    The standby WLC should use the redundancy managemet address to ping the default gateway, instead the primary IP management address!!!!!!
    So the workaround is the CLI command :
    config redundancy management-gateway-failover disable
    on the primary WLC, via console or in SSH.
    When the standby will reload it will inherit the config from the active primary WLC

    The workaround works in my experience.

  • WLC 5508 Firmware Upgradation

    Hi All,
    WLC 5508 - current firmware 7.0.116.0 is running on it. we need add couple of 2700 series AP. From the release notes i got know 2700 series supported on the 7.6.120.x and later. 
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/2700/quick/guide/ap2700getstart.html
    - whereas 7.6.120.x is the latest one in the train. can we have this firmware on the controller as its latest??
    - from the release notes - we can have a direct upgrade to 7.6.120.0., upgrading from 7.0.x.x to 7.6.120.x missing so many version in between. any potential problems i may get ??
    - FUS (Field upgrade software is necessary) which version and how it can be installed ??
    Regards,
    Channa

    Hi Channa,
    Go for the 7.6.130.0 (7.6MR3) when it is available to public. To be released within next couple of weeks.If you need to do this before 7.6MR3 comes then you can get pre-release of that code via TAC. Refer below for that.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/12245186/76mr3-beta-availability
    Yes, you have to upgrade your FUS, It is recommended to go for v 1.9.0.0. Below will give you the upgrade procedure. Better to do it via CLI & allocate 30-45min downtime for this upgrade
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_OL-31390-01.html
    Feature wise there are lots of feature available in 7.6.x compare to 7.0.x.  But I do not expect any problem going from 7.0.x to 7.6.x as long as you upgrade your FUS first.
    Also read these compatibility matrix to see all your AP models are supporting by this 7.6.x code & any other PI or MSE compatibility if you have those.
