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,

After WLC upgrade to 8.0.100 [ not in HA mode], the AP seem to be dropping out and reconnect using the fallback to IP- inspite of the statically configured IP on the AP

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)
Backup Boot Image................................ Code 7.4.110.0 (default)
(Cisco Controller) >reset system

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 / firmware 7.2.110.0 is restarting automatically ( COLD START )

Hi Experts ,
I am having weird issue with 5508 controller which is having firmware 7.2.110.0 . This controller is restarting automatically
Since this issue was occuring since long time with earlier version , I have upgraded to 7.2.110.0 , however still no luck ....
I do not have any logs related to controller crash info.

Hey Scott,
I'm about to upgrade a 5508 controller from 7.0.220.0 to 7.4.110.0 , and was just prepping myself on upgrading the FUS as it will be the first time. Latest for 5508 is 1.7 and I noticed for 2504 its 1.8.
I was just curious where you saw that its mandatory to upgrade the FUS ? I can't seem to locate any actual documentation specifying anything about upgrading the FUS when going from one version to another etc. I know one of my clients has a 5508 on 7.4 with the old FUS (see below).
Bootloader Version............................... 1.0.1Field Recovery Image Version..................... 6.0.182.0
Firmware Version................................. FPGA 1.3, Env 1.6, USB console 1.27
Build Type....................................... DATA + WPS
Looking forward to your reply
Thanks !

Wlc 5508 fus upgrade to v1.9

Hi folks,
I have a pair of wlc 5508, configured as a HA pair. I want to upgrade the FUS to ver 1.9.
Is it necessary to break the HA pair, and upgrade each wlc individually?

Ref : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.html
>...
The FUS image can be upgraded while the controllers have HA enabled. The secondary controller will get upgraded just like it does when upgrading the regular code. However, when you initiate the reboot on the primary controller both controllers will be unreachable until the FUS upgrade completes on both the active and the standby in the HA pair. This process will take around 30 to 40 minutes to complete just like in a non-HA FUS upgrade.

2 Cisco WLC 5508 controllers and software upgrade 7.6.130 + FUS 1.9

Hi
I have two WLC 5508 controllers that need 7.6.130 and FUS 1.9 installed. (Current version 7.3 and FUS 1.7)
Configuration: One controller is at Site A and the other controller is at Site B (two different states..)
They're configured so that if Site A goes down, Site A AP's will failover to Site B and vice versa ..
- What would be the recommended approach for upgrading the software to 7.6.130.0 (from 7.3) and also upgrading FUS 1.9 (from 1.7)?
My plan was to download 7.6.130.0 to both controllers and pre-download the software to all AP's (about 100 total between both sites) and then reboot the controllers at night at the same time? Or one before the other?
Step 2. Install FUS 1.9 to each controller.
I'm concerned over what might happen during the upgrade and AP failover etc..
Thanks

This is what I would do:
Upload v7.6.130.0 to all WLCs and then use the pre image download to push the image to all access points.
Dont reboot the wlc
Image swap in the access points so that v7.6.130.0 is primary
Move all access point to one of the WLCs (A)
Enable ap AAA authentication on the WLC that has no access points and the one you will work on first. This prevents access points from joining
Reboot the WLC (A)
Upload the FUS 1.9.0.0
Reboot WLC (A) this takes up to 45 minutes
When the WLC (A) comes back online, uncheck ap AAA authentication
Move access points from WLC (B) to WLC (A)
Enable ap AAA authentication on WLC (B)
Perform all the other task you did earlier on WLC (A)
That's it.

Dear Support,
we are using two WLC 5508 software ver.7.4.100 with first 50AP license and in the next day we add 50AP license again to the primary WLC. when we activate HA base in the following guiden http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.html but when we doing test the failover we found a couple log message on the Secondary WLC like below and not for long time all AP on the Secondary WLC was drop off.

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 Software Upgrade

Hi There,
I have upgraded the software version of a WLC 5508 that was running version 6.0.182.0 to 7.0.235.0 version. Looking at the show sysinfo on the controller (as shown below), I notice the Field Recovery Image Version has the previous version. As far I understand that image version will kick in if the 'ESC' character is hit during the boot up process.

Now I am trying to upgrade IOS it is not allow me to upgrade it.

This won't work and you'll see from the error message. Your standby WLC has a particular firmware loaded with LDPE enabled. So first, you need to answer if you need LDPE or not.
Both firmwares has to match, including LDPE. If you need LDPE, the your primary has to be loaded with LDPE before you can proceed. If you don't need LDPE, then you need to downgrade the secondary to non-LDPE version before you can proceed.
