WLC Firmware upgrade

I am working on a firmware upgrade on WLC 5508 and WLC 2100 from 7.2.111.3 to 7.4.121. I have 10 forign controllers and 2 anchor controllers. My question are:
(1) Should I upgrade the forign controllers first or anchor controllers first?
(2) Should I or do I need to upgrade Cisco NCS, 1.1.1.24, after the WLC firmware upgrade?
(3) SHould I or do I need to upgrade CIsco MSE to latest version?
Thanks,

(1) Should I upgrade the foreign controllers first or anchor controllers first?
Does not matter the order.
Make sure you upgrade the FUS to 1.9.0.0 version as well

(2) Should I or do I need to upgrade Cisco NCS, 1.1.1.24, after the WLC firmware upgrade?
Refer the below link (table 4) compatibility matrix, you should have NCS/Prime 1.3.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html#wp142297
(3) Should I or do I need to upgrade CIsco MSE to latest version?
Refer the table 7 of the above link, you should have MSE 7.4.121.0 as well for compatibility

WLC firmware upgradation from 6.0.196.0 to 7.0.98.0

Hi,
I have not come across to upgrade the IOS of WLC at any time .
Right now , I have WLC 6.0.196.0 and it is working fine but still if in case I need to upgrade to 7.0.98.0 or whichever is latest , What is the procedure ?
How to go about it ?
kindly suggest me for the same.

Hi Vinod,
Sorry for the late reply.. this forum thingy is messed up.. suddenly this throws me off!! hav to re-login.. strange!! ok lemme get back..
Main image = The image helps you in getting the GUI and helps you in configuring through the CLI..
Boot Loader image = Is almost equal to ROMMON version on switches!! ok lemme explain u in WLC world.. When you reboot ur WLC, while rebooting if u hit "Escape" then you can see something like the Intial WLC config wizard.. or while doing the PASSWORD recovery we select options 1 to 5.. this is called as Boot loader version..
The complex explanation is.. A boot loader, also called a boot manager, is a small program that places the Operating System (OS) of a computer into Memory. When a computer is powered-up or restarted, the basic functions performs some initial tests.
lemme know if this answered your question and mark it as answered if so!!

Surendra

WLC 2504 firmware upgrade

Upgraded my Cisco 2504 from 7.0.220.0 to 7.4.111.0
and upgraded my field upgrade bootloader to 1.0.18.
Now I cannot configure my WLC from the web via IP. Had it configured properly with VLAN, switch and my ASA 5520.
Does this have to do with the ACL's on the WLC.
I've been looking for documentation can't find much in terms of best practices for traffic.
My CPU ACL on wired and wireless are disabled with no ACL for the CPU.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Carlos

Hello Scott,
I figured it out. I had to do from CLI a reset system command. Once I did that everything came back up. I did not know that field upgrade and firmware upgrade took so long. The instructions say to just to a save and reboot. I found out that you need to do a reset system command again from the CLI.
Appreciate the assistance.

WLC 5508 upgrade

Hi All,
We currently have 4 x WLC 5500 (AIR-CT5508-K9) V01 and V02
So two in one datacenter and the other two in another datacenter. They are connected via Mobility group to and BOYD open wifi with an Anchor WLC the other 1.
All four of them are 7.4.110.0 and the APs we use are AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 and AIR-CAP2602I-E-K9.
We are looking to get 2700 or 3700 AP so we can use 802.11ac, but we need to upgrade all WLC to 7.6.130.0.
1. is it a direct upgrade from 7.4.110.0 to 7.6.130.0?
2. If I upgrade one datacenter one weekend and the other next weekend, during that week two WLC would be 7.4 and other two 7.6 would it break or cause issue with Mobility group to and BOYD open wifi with an Anchor WLC?
3. Can any please provide step to step guide for the upgrade from 7.4 to 7.6?
Many Thanks
appreciate it :)

Hi Rasika,
Many Thanks for your reply and help!
1. In regards to Upgrade the FUS, is it required to be upgraded once the WLC are upgraded to 7.6 or is just good practice?
2. Or I can I upgrade the FUS another time?

WLC Code Upgrade

We just got a WLC 4002 with 3.2.150.10 software version. I have followed a procedure to upgrade and I know I need to follow this path 3.2.150.10->4.1->4.2.176.0->5.2
However, I have tried to transfer the 4.1.185 on my controller and I get a
TFTP Failure while storing in flash!
error.
Has anybody experience this?? any adive?

1. You could be either using a TFTP server that could not support file transfers greater than 32 MB (if this is the case, go to http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html and use TFTP32).
2. Looks like you were upgrading the firmware without upgrading the Bootloader (ER).
Using the same process as the firmware, download and install Bootloader (in the follwoing order)
AIR-WLC4400-K9-4-1-171-0-ER.aes before you install firmware 4.1.185. Then
AIR-WLC4400-K9-4-2-61-0-ER.aes and install AIR-WLC4400-K9-4-2-61-0.aes. Finally, install Bootloader
AIR-WLC4400-K9-5-2-157-0-ER.aes before you install the final 5.x firmware you want.
Sorry, it's a very long process but it's the only way.
Have you seen this documentation:

Cisco WLC DHCP upgrade issues

Hi,
I've discovered an issue with our WLC 4400 series controllers when we do firmware upgrades (recently moved to 6.0.199) it seems to reset the dhcp server on the controller but the Access points still retain their old IP until the lease runs out (48hrs). This means that any AP's requesting a new lease often get an IP conflict for the first 48hrs after the upgrade and we experienced areas where AP's wouldnt connect.
Is this a common issue and is there anyway to get the AP's to request a new address from the controller?
thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
When you do a WLC upgrade, a WLC reboot is required, this results in the DHCP lease table getting restarted as well.
Solution:
1-Setup an external DHCP Server to overcome this.
2- Restart the access points, so they request a new IP address.
This is mentioned on WLC release notes 6.0.199.0 that you are running, it is for clients, for the rule still applies:
Link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn6_0_199.html#wp581125
Internal DHCP Server
When clients use the controller's internal DHCP server, IP addresses are not preserved across reboots. As a result, multiple clients can be assigned the same IP address. To resolve any IP address conflicts, clients must release their existing IP address and request a new one.
The same also applies on newer releases such as 6.0.199.4 and 7.0.
Have a good day.
Serge

PETITION: This is what I would like to see in a new firmware upgrade for the MTP ZEN TO

FIXES:
-Ensures correct playback on the player of Zencast audio content that has been transferred using Zencast organiser. Remaining time is displayed correctly, and rewind / fast-forward functions can be used
- Allows users to transfer tracks between folders on the player when using a program such as Creative Mediasource [THIS IS NEEDED FOR ALL MTP PLAYERS]
- Allows charging via USB when the player is not being used by a program or is low on battery [THIS FEATURE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY MTP UPGRADE]
ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager
2) Adds bookmarking feature to the player
3) Adds SmartVolume EQ feature to the player
4) Adds DJ menu to the player
5) Allows user to partition a section of the player for data transfer
6) Allows user to synchronise tasks from Outlook to the player
7) Allows TXT files/ Ebooks to be stored/ viewed on the player
8) Adds BassBoost EQ feature to the player
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO URGE CREATIVE TO INTRODUCE AT LEAST SOME OF THESE FIXES / FEATURES IN A FIRMWARE UPGRADE FOR THE MTP ZEN TOUCH - also please feel free to add other suggestions that would improve the functionality of the Zen Touch

Firmware upgrade crippled cp1025nw

LaserJet CP1025nw color: was working flawlessly
received email from HP 4/3/2012, recommending firmware upgrade to v 20120130.
ran upgrade 4/3/2012 from iMac, OS10.6.8.
got error: 'update failed'
print queue says 'printing', cp1025nw doesn't respond.
printer lights: orange triangle enclosed exclamation mark plus green semicircle
This means: fatal error, per the user manual.
manual instructs to turn off, unplug, plug-in, turn on. I did this several times.
printer lights still indicate: fatal error.
HP utility says: device status: unknown, service ID: unknown, FW version: unknown, driver version 2.0.20110727
                  tried to print configuration page: got error 'cannot establish two-way communication with the device'
                  printer and computer are connected with USB cable, (this cable / port communicates without issue to Epson inkjet printer)
Tried printing from Dell laptop: Latitude E6410 with USB cable: Windows XP professional, 2002, service pack 3.
                  has routinely printed from this computer previously.
error message in printer queue: 'error - printing',
Dell said 'found new hardware' tried to install with HP cd-rom
                  error message said 'the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software'
ran the HP print diagnostic utility HPPDU.exe file from the Dell with USB cable: 'Everything checks out okay with your printer'
print test page: no response from the cp1025nw
What should I try next?

Since my last post I’ve retried the same troubleshooting described before, this time just from the PC. The result is still the same. Lights on the cp1025nw indicate “fatal error”.
Does anyone know how to put this printer into ‘bootcode’ mode? I’ve read about this in some other posts about HP firmware updates trashing printers.

and
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/63535
Is there some combination of button presses that sends the printer into bootcode so it is ready to accept the firmware?

HDMI output not working since firmware upgrade

I would appreciate troubleshooting tips for getting the HDMI output to work. I just tried it recently for the first time in a long while, approximately 4 weeks after doing the firmware update to 2.2. When I did it before, plugging in the HDMI cable would automatically start output to my HD TV. Now that is no longer the case. Changing the HDMI output from "Auto" to "720p" does not make a difference either.
Otherwise, everything works well and I've been satisfied with my Creative 7 to date. I have installed several apps so it could be that there is a conflict and nothing related to the firmware upgrade.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

Well I've received my refurbished device for about a week now. The HDMI still doesn't work either with Zii Video or a 3rd party app MoboPlayer. ?I am tempted to reinstall the firmware upgrade again. Is it ok to try this or is it only a one time attempt?
Perhaps this should be a separate thread but are any of the "Phone 2 SD" apps compatible with the Ziio 7? Whenever I use the "Move to SD card" option, there is still no program moved to the external SD card. ?I have a Ziio 7 with 6 GB of memory as well as a 6GB micro SD card. ?My memory settings are:
- SD Card: total space - 5.43GB; Available space - 5.43GB
- Device media storage: Total space - 2.48GB; Available Space - 2.3 GB
- System storage: Total Space - .97 GB; Available space - .59GB
In Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, the "On SD Card" tab lists several programs lists several apps but none of them are actually on the external SD card.

Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

After review the events of the morning.....
I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub. High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor. I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor. So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter. That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online. It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed. Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.
1. There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
2. There is no fan that I can discern. Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow". Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
3. This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).
Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.

PC-Suite sync fails after Firmware upgrade of E65

After firmware upgrade of E65 PC-Suite stops syncing Calendar & Contacts from outlook. No error messages, just "0 entries has been updated".
- PC-Suite updated to 7.0.9.2
- Outlook 2003
- XP Prof.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The funny thing is - the notes are synced???? If I restore some old contacts they'll double up in outlook, so I think the problem is, that the sync app doesn't see the outlook contact & calendar folder.
Does somebody has an idea?

No power after firmware upgrade on nomad jukebox zen xtra

I have the nomad jukebox zen xtra 30gig that froze up over a year ago after i tried to install the firmware upgrade. After the unsuccessful attempt, the mp3 player stopped working.... I mean no power at all. I've changed the battery and recharged the battery from an outside source...still no luck. I can't even try any of the suggestions anyone gives on this site because I have no power.Does anyone have this problem? More important, does anyone have this problem and know of a solution?I've already set my pc back to wmp 0, I have the firmware on the desktop waiting. Now all I need is some power on this unit so that i can try some of the suggestions that seems to be working for people. Thank you

I have the same problem too, but my unit is a?Creative Normad Junebox Zen Xtra 40GB. I was trying to find a solution to my problem when I read about your problem. I have pressed the reset button, on / off switch, removed the battery, reinstalled the battery, and nothing seems to work. I was hoping you?might get a solution to this problem, so that I might be able to fix my MP3 player. If I hear of a solution, I will let you know, thanks for sharing. Issue:? While updating the firmware to the Zen Xtra 40 GB, the unit powered down and?has never came on again. There seems to be no real reason why the unit should not power up. The battery and the AC adapter are working correctly. I am very disappointed in Creative...

No contacs after firmware upgrade on N70

Hi
I did a firmware upgrade yesterday on my N70 using NSU. Of course I did a backup using the uptodate Nokia PC suite. After the firmware upgrade I saved the data back to the phone aagin using the Nokia PC suite. Everything looks good except that no contacts are there.
I did the upgrade again just to make sure that everything went OK with the same result.
Can some help or has the same problem?
Firmware V 5.0638.3.0.1 18-09-06 RM-84
PC Windows XP SP2
Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22.0
NSU 1.2.0en
Best regards
Chris

not sure about your PC Suite version but this has been well documented in these forums and I had the same problem and with N70. I think it was mentioned as a PC Suite issue, or a combined PC Suite issue N70 issue with many people reporting it. Anyway nothing you can do but enter your contacts or transfer from another phone

Firmware upgrade correct steps?

We are carrying out a firmware upgrade on our 9509’s from 3.3(1c) to 5.2(2) and I want to know if the steps below are correct?
Check hosts for paths to both Fabric's.
Take a backup of the config for all the switches.
On Fabric A upgrade switch 1 to 4.1(x)
Upgrade switch 2 in Fabric A to 4.1(x)
On Fabric A upgrade switch 1 to 5.0(x)
Upgrade switch 2 in Fabric A to 5.0(x)
On Fabric A upgrade switch 1 to 5.2(2)
Upgrade switch 2 in Fabric A to 5.2(2)
When happy, then do the same for Fabric B for the other switches.
Thanks

looks good, just follow the release notes to go to the correct intermediate code level so that upgrade is non disruptive
