WLC 5508 Failure to upgrade code
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a WLC 5508 and I'm getting the following errors:
TFTP Code transfer starting.
TFTP receive complete... extracting components.
Failure while validating the signature!
TFTP Failure while storing in flash!
The image is good and for the right model. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hello Kayle
both of my controllers are brandnew according to their serial-#: and Leolaohoo's post.
Controller_1 : FCW1522L021
Controller_2 : FCW1522L022
Facts:
=====
1. Both are running code 7.0.98.218
2. Upgrade to 7.0.116.0 (AIR-CT5500-K9-7-0-116-0.aes) failed
Just to be sure, I also tried code AIR-CT5500-LDPE-K9-7-0-116-0.aes, which also failed on both
3. No firewall or antivirus is active on my workstation
4. Upgrade was tried via Service-Port as well as management-interface
5. Upgrade was tried via FTP as well as TFTP
6. Short after file-transfer has been finished I get the corresponding message and even short after that I receive the message "Failure while validating the signature"
7. Doing a "show logging", I get the message that the downloaded file seems to be corrupted (screenshot below), but checking the filesize gives me exactly the same size as on the CCO before downloading

First to upgrade the FUS,reload the controller and then the upgrade the software or the opposite?
Is possible to download both files and reboot the controllers later?

Thanks."Field Upgrade Software (FUS) is a special AES package that contains several system related component upgrades. These include the bootloader, field recovery image, and FPGA/MCU firmware. Installing the FUS image requires special attention because it installs some critical firmware. The FUS image is independent of the runtime image"
Yes, this is highly recomended to do this upgrade. Otherwise you may have wired issues of APs are not working as expected.
Here is a document explain this process

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
regardsIf 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 reboots itself after upgrading to 7.5.102.0
Hello all.
We have two WLC 5508 and we upgraded both to software release 7.5.102.0 two weeks ago. We also upgrade the FUS to version 1.7.
Since then both WLC reboot randomly once or twice a day with no obvious reason.
Is anyone else facing the same issue?
Many thanks.Ok, in that case it is very difficult to pin-point the cause for these sorts reboots. It may be due to a unknown bug. Go through below 7.5.102.0 release notes and see any unresolved caveats related to your issue
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn75.html#wp1030058
Have you configure syslog on your WLC ? If so see what is the last syslog message sent by WLC before reloading, it may indicate something.
Do more observation & see whetehr controller reboot every time it hit 1k client limit. Try to narrow down the criteria to identify under what conditions this will trigger.
In my controller I do not have that many clients & cannot comment if it is related.

Wlc 5508 ios upgrade in ha mode
I am having 2 wlc 5508 in HA mode, and want to upgrade ios from 7.5 to 7.6
Current IOS file status in primary and secondary.
Primary WLC IOS : AIR-CT5500-K9-7-5-102-0.aes
Standby WLC IOS : AIR-CT5500-LDPE-K9-7-5-102-0.aes
HA WLC ios upgrade procedure is when we upgrade ios in primary wlc it will push to standby wlc and if earlier ios version match it will accept it.
ISSUE : If you check in wlc status detail I have given upper both has same ios version but IOS file are different and currently in HA mode and working.
Now I am trying to upgrade IOS it is not allow me to upgrade it.
Giving below error :
TFTP receive complete... extracting components.
Checking Version Built.
Image version check passed.
Informing the standby to start the transfer download process
Waiting for the Transfer & Validation result from Standby.
Standby - Standby receive complete... extracting components.

Please download AIR-CT5500-K9-x-x-x-x.aes image instead.
Transfer & Validation on Standby failed.
Transfer download failed both on Active & Standby, Please retry download
(Cisco Controller) >
Please suggest how I can upgrade IOS in HA mode.Primary WLC IOS : AIR-CT5500-K9-7-5-102-0.aes
Standby WLC IOS : AIR-CT5500-LDPE-K9-7-5-102-0.aes
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. -
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,
ChannaHi 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.

WLC 5508 and Autonomous AP 1240 upgrade to Lightweight
Hi All,
very simple question, for who knows it... :-)
Does an autonomous Cisco AP 1240G/AG series upgraded to Lightweight register/associate to a WLC 5508 ??
I found some documention, it seems not:
These Cisco wireless LAN controllers support autonomous access points upgraded to lightweight mode:
• 2000 series controllers
• 4400 series controllers
• Cisco Wireless Services Modules (WiSMs) for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
• Controller Network Modules within the Cisco 28/37/38xx Series Integrated Services Routers
• Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controller Switches
The 5500 is not in the list...
However based in some posts and other webpages, it looks that the 1240 converted to LAP can join a 5508...
Somebody can help please??
MANY THANKS!!!
Alex BertránYes, it can. Always check release notes for controller code, it lists supported access points:

Can we upgrade IOS in WLC 5508 through CISCO prime?
I have CISCO prime 2.0 and CISCO WLC 5508 HA SSO pair.
I would like to upgrade the software code for the WLC HA pair.
Can I do through the CISCO prime ......
As per the link :http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.html#pgfId-43571
1. After the WLCs are configured in the HA setup, the Standby WLC cannot be upgraded directly from the TFTP/FTP server.
Prime do the upgrade through FTP server , so will it be ok if we do the upgrade through it, for HA WLC.Please check this link to upgrade wLC software in HA setup.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.html
Once the Primary WLC complete the upgrade , it will transfer the entire image to the Standby WLC via the Redundant Port.

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.

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.

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 FrankHi 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)

Some C1242 Radios are disabled after WLC 5508 upgrade to 7.3.101.0
One week ago I use a WLC 5508 to place and replace another WLC 5508 with version 6.0.199.4, when I conect the new WLC all AP´s works OK only 10 dont work and not are recognizes from the WLC with version 7.3.101.0. The fail is the radios stay disabled. All ap´s are AIR-AP1242G-AK9 . See the image below, the only difference this ten AP´s are conected in switches cisco all the rest are connected in switches of ohter vendor.
If possible some command in the configuration is not neccesary and make the bad function?
This is tipically config apllied by the customer in they cisco switches

I reed some documents but i don´t found the right solution can any help me?
ThankAre the APs being powered through POE or perhaps an injector (if injector, do you have the injector override enabled for joined APs with their radios down?) What's the disparity of the models; are all 1242s in this "down radio" state, or only the 1242s plugged in to the Cisco Switches?
When you say the 10 don't work and are not "recognized" by the WLC, are you indicating that they have not re-joined the newer WLC or are they joined but their radios are not operationally up? Please clarify the state of these APs.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn73.html#wp965532
Please note that a version prior to 7.0.98.0 cannot be upgraded directly to 7.3.101.0 from the WLC perspective, but it's possible your 1242 AP's image (used from the 6.0.199.4 release) is not able to properly join and download code for the 7.3.101.0 WLC that was put in to place. The 1242 APs in your scenario would still be running the old 6.0.199.4 image.
I'm curious what all is or isn't happening from the questions above, but you may need to load a newer recovery release on the 1242s to have them join properly - or - downgrade the WLC to a version that allows a direct upgrade from 6.0.199.4 such as 7.0.240.0. Let the APs join the downgraded WLC and finish up any image downloads and re-join, then upgrade the WLC back to 7.3.101.0 (would recommend latest 7.3.112.0 instead) and see if they rejoin and radios are online. -
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..
ThanksThis 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.

Anchor mobility configuration getting lost in wlc 5508 ios code 7.4.100.0
It is observed that in WLC 5508 , ios 7.4.100.0 , mobility anchor configuration on wlan is getting lost . we configure anchor ip address on guest wlan > mobility anchor > Switch IP Address (Anchor).
We have configured the template on NCS 2.0 to push the anchor mobility ip address on all WLC
Has anyone oberved this behavoiur. We have more than 100 WLC , and everyweek mobility anchor configuration is lost on some WLC having code 7.4.100.0.I am having this exact same problem. I am running 7.3 on 5508 WLC. My remote site LAP's are using Flex (HREAP). The initial access point that my laptop associates to connects with no problem, as soon as I wander out of range of the initial LAP and into the area of another access point, I lose data connectivity. The was validated like the original post as I start a constant ping on the LAN and watch as the ping latency increases and then ping replies stop. The only way to correct the problem is resetting of the wireless adapter on the laptop. Side note my DroidX has no problem wandering from AP to AP.
Laptop: Windows 7 32bit
I then returned to my home site and test where I have a secondary controller and the LAP's are configured for local mode, no problems roaming from access point to access point. Validated with constant ping test. The pings drop for a second and re-
continues as the laptop reconnects.
