WLC 5508 Fus upgrade
Hi,
I have few 5508 controlers with 7.0.116.0 version and i decided to upgrade to 7.4. I did an upgrade of software and FUS (
AIR-CT5500-K9-1-7-0-0-FUS.aes) on three of them without any problems. But on the last one i cannot upgrade fus image.. I dowload code from tftp server, wlc checks image and ask for reload for changes to take effects. After reboot it still has old fus installed :/ I have no access to console to see if there are any errors during the reboot. Is there any way of troubleshooting?
Thanks
Hi Ad,
same exact image is being used for all WLCs upgrade? or this is a different one (downloaded separately)?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Standby - Checking Version Built.
Standby - Image version check passed.
Standby - Transfer failure : Upgrade from non LDPE to LDPE software is not allowed.
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. -
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.

Upgrading a wlc 5508 from 7.0.116 to 7.4
Hi
I have a wlc 5508 running version 7.0.116.0 that I need to uppgrade to use the CAP2602I AP. I understand that I need to upgrade it to version 7.0.240 before 7.4.100 to avoid loosing HREAP VLAN mappings, and I have also read that i need to install the FUS image (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_1_7_0_0.html). In what order should this be done? Shlod the FUS image be installed before new firmware ore after firmware or after 7.0.240 but before 7.4?
/BjörnIt can be done before or after. I have always done the FUS upgrade after the image upgrade

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.

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,

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:

Upgrading from WLC 4402-50 to WLC 5508-250
I am planning to upgrade my WLC 4402-50 (HA) to WLC 5508-250 (HA). I also have some really old 1020 Access points that I will be replacing with 1142's. Once I have completed the upgrade to the 5508s, I will repurpose the 4402's as Mobile Anchor controllers to support Guest Wireless.
Does anyone have any actual experience with this sort of upgrade? Any practical suggestions or ideas??

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.

Upgrade Software Version WLC 5508
Dear,
i try to upgrade the software from 6.0.199.4 to 7.5.102

when we try from TFTP it give error [code file error disconnected- unknown error]
tru FTP error is [cont send replay disconnected]
Can you Help me Pleaseaddition to Sandeep & Scotts feedback,
When you do the upgrade, make sure your 5508 FUS also get upgraded to latest version 1.9.0.0. Here is the release notes for that
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_OL-31390-01.pdf
This process will take 30-40min & do this within a sufficient outage/maintenance window.
Here is the release notes for 7.4.121.0(7.4MR2) the one I would recommend
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74mr02.html
Also refer the compatibillity matrix to see which product it will support depending on the products that are available at your environment
