5508 WLC Upgrade steps

Single 5508 WLC with 8 x 1142 APs.
5508 is running FUS 1.3, software version 7.0.116.0, field recovery image 6.0.182.0.
I need to bring the software version up to at least 7.2.115 to support 2 new 2602 AP i need to install.
Question is; do I install FUS 1.9 then update my controller to 7.6.120 or do I need to do any intermediate steps?
This is my first time upgrading a WLC so I'm fresh and this is a production WLC.
Cheers

Hi Fisher.
Normally It doesn't matter as long as you get it done but make sure that you reboot the WLC before doing the next.
Here is the procedure for FUS upgrade:

Security upgrade question - Getting 6.1.6 downloaded to iphone.

Security upgrade question - I have a 4S phone v6.01 with an upgrade to IOS 7.04 already downloaded and ready for install. I would like to install the 6.1.6 security upgrade instead. How do I delete the ios7 in the queue or have the 6.1.1 pushed as an option to the phone?

You can't install iOS 6.1.6 on that device and must update it to 7.0.6.

WLC upgrade due to Advisory

Hi,
We have a 5508 WLC running 7.2.110.0 and need to upgrade according to the advisory released today.
It seems we have three upgrade choices:
7.2.110.0 to 7.2.111.3
7.2.110.0 to 7.3.110.0
7.2.110.0 to 7.4.x
I've not upgraded one of these 5508's before, but if they are anything like ASAs then I need to be careful.
Can anyone advise if upgrading from our current version to 7.4 requires planning. Same for 7.3.
How will the WLC upgrades affect the APs (3502i) ?
How does one recover from a failed upgrade on these WLCs?
Thanks.

WLC version 7.4.100 will need Prime Infrastructure Version 1.3 to be managed, but Version 1.3 is not yet available to download at this time.
Huh? What is Prime Infrastructure and why do I need it?

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available it included HDR & Panoramic photo merge. I cant find these. Where do I find them.

well that was a big waste of my time & data allowance then ...
I live in a flaky slow internet area & I keep my photo edit machine off the internet unless & want to update something. CC is no use to me & that useless update just used up a 12th of my allowance for the year ...

Another RAM upgrade question

Hi everyone,
I know there seems to be lots of RAM upgrade questions here but hey thats what forums are for.
I'm looking to upgrade my macbook's RAM it's currently got 2GB (2x1GB)
Is it possible to purchase 1x4GB and put that with one of my current 1GB sticks to create a total of 5GB?
I would be interested to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it.
Thanks in advance
Scott

This will work if your MacBook is late '07 or newer.

WLC Upgrades to 7.5.102.0 from 7.4.100.0 Question

We went through an upgrade from 7.4.100.0 for all of our WLC's this morning. One of the interesting features, that we wanted to take advantage of, was the BYOD profiling that the release notes talk about. I'm going through the controllers and see that there is now a tab under the SSID called "policy mapping". However, when I look for where I can create the local policy, I cannot find anything on the WLC for completing that task. I've been looking for instructions and notes on how to do this, but cannot seem to find any. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Please
follow the below steps to create Local Policies.
Step 1
Choose Security > Local   Policies.
Step 2
Click New to create a new policy.
Step 3
Enter the policy name and click Apply.
Step 4
On the Policy List page, click the   policy name to be configured.
Step 5
On the Policy > Edit page,   follow these steps:
In the Match Criteria area,        enter a value for Match Role String. This is the user type or user group        of the user, for example, student, teacher, and so on.
From the Match EAP Type drop-down        list, choose the EAP authentication method used by the client.
From the Device Type        drop-down list, choose the device type.
Click Add to add the device        type to the policy device list.
The   device type you choose is listed in the Device List.
In the Action area, specify        the policies that are to be enforced. From the IPv4 ACL drop-down list,        choose an IPv4 ACL for the policy.
Enter the VLAN ID that should        be associated with the policy.
From the QoS Policy drop-down        list, choose a QoS policy to be applied.
Enter a value for Session        Timeout. This is the maximum amount of time, in seconds, after which a        client is forced to reauthenticate.
Enter a value for Sleeping        Client Timeout, which is the timeout for sleeping clients.
Sleeping   clients are clients with guest access that have had successful web   authentication that are allowed to sleep and wake up without having to go   through another authentication process through the login page.
This   sleeping client timeout configuration overrides the WLAN-specific sleeping   client timeout configuration.
In the Active Hours area,        from the Day drop-down list, choose the days on which the policy has to        be active.
Enter the Start Time and End        Time of the policy.
Click Add.
The   day and start time and end time that you specify is listed.
Click Apply.

WLC/WCS upgrade questions

Hi, we have 2 4402 controllers running with system software 4.2.130.0. The WCS is running 4.2.110.0.
I would like to upgrade but are a bit confused about all the different versions.
Is it recomended that I upgrade directly to the latest 6.0.182(WCS)/132(WLC) ?
And how do I upgrade ? the controllers first and then the WCS ?
Regards
Johann Folkestad

If you are considering upgrading to 6.0, here is the section of the release notes for the WCS that concerns that:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/release/notes/WCS_RN6_0.html#wp44448
As for the WLC, here is that section:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn601820.html#wp472449
As already stated, be sure to read the release notes to find which version is best for you.

WLC upgrade license and access point

Hi everyone,
I need suggestion regarding wlc 5508 upgrade license. Right now i have 150 license for access points. There will be upgrade around 300 access points. So we are planning to buy new license until the maximum capacity of 5508 (500 licenses).
Our management ip address is 192.168.50.x/24 . so all the access point are pointed to this management ip address (in the same subnet)
First question,
Because there will be an upgrade to around 450 access point. The current management ip address will not be enough.
Please, give me the best suggestion ?
Should i create another management ip address ? or I need to make a bigger subnet using the current management ip address ?
if i create a bigger ip address, the current access points must be set again yups ?
Second question
There will be a new link connected to the wlc, and i want to create new user subnets.
what is the best practices for this matter ?
if there are better suggestion, please let me know, i am still learning about wireless
I have attached the topology.
Thank you
Fanie

For an example, a 5508 can support up to 500 AP's, and the AP's can be in one large subnet or be in many different subnets and or even different locations. As long as the ap knows how to discover the WLC or the ap already had joined the WLC, then the AP's don't have to be on the same subnet as the WLC. The easiest way to have AP's join is to stage them on the same subnet as the WLC management and then move them to a different subnet. I would probably have no more than 100 AP's per subnet, but that's me. Stage some AP's on the management subnet that the WLC is on and then when the AP's join and complete downloading code, change the switch port Vlan and shut and no shut the port. The ap will come back up and join the WLC.

5508 WLC Upgrade from 7.0.116 to 7.2.111.3

I am planing to upgrade 2 of my 5508 series WLC from 7.0.116 to version 7.2.111.3. I understand that legacy AP's are no longer supported. Is there any other issues I should be aware of that others have experienced? Is the upgrade straight-forward just like other code upgrades? Thank you.

Thanks so much for all the information. Afterr reading throught this, it makes sense now. I do have one more question. After doing a show sysinfo on these controllers, it does look like the FUS does need to be updated. Should I perform this before I upgrade to version 7.2 code, or after I have peformed the upgrade to 7.2, or does it matter?

WLC Upgrade - FUS Upgrade

Greetings,
I am planning on upgrading our redundant 5508 WLC’s from v.7.3.112.0 to v.7.4.110.0 this weekend. One thing I noticed in the release notes of 7.4 is the guideline to update the Field Upgrade Software to v. 1.7.0.0-FUS.
My question is should this FUS be upgraded before or after I upgrade the WLC to 7.4? On the release notes it does state a FPGA error on the does occur on the 5500 series controllers.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_1_7_0_0.html#wp45499
On a Cisco 5500 Series Controller, it is observed that the controller sporadically reboots (due to a defect CSCtr39523) and displays the following FPGA error message:
fpga: Lost heartbeat from Environment controller, system will reboot in 5 seconds!!!
A crash file is not created to debug or troubleshoot the error.
You can resolve this issue by installing the FUS image. Please see Resolved Caveats for more details.
Thanks,
Robert

Honestly, it doesn't really matter the ordr you upgrade in.
Though, I tend to update the FUS before the image.

WLC upgrade

hi! I'm planning to upgrade my WLC5500 from version 7.0.x to 7.6.x.
I've 2 WLCs with one served as a Primary and the other one as a Backup Unit. Currently all the APs are associated to the Primary Unit. The APs will only fall back to the backup WLC when the Primary unit failed.
My question would be:
1) Can I upgrade the Backup unit first, and move a few APs to the backup unit to make sure everything is working before I upgrade the Primary unit?
Will that plan work fine?
2) If my WLC is out of maintenance contract, can I still do this upgrade? Does it work like those VMware licensing, whereby I need the license to go from 4.x to 5.x?
Thanks.

1) Can I upgrade the Backup unit first, and move a few APs to the backup unit to make sure everything is working before I upgrade the Primary unit?
I've got a better idea for you.
1. Upload the new firmware to the two controllers. DO NOT REBOOT the primary controllers when you are prompted. You can reload the secondary controller.
2. Save the configuration.
3. On the WLC with all the APs, go to Wireless > Access Points > Global Configuration. Scroll down to the bottom under the heading "AP Image Pre-Download" and choose "Download Primary".
4. Go Monitor > All APs and click Details and scroll to the right-hand. Look under "Download Status". Wait until all the APs have their respective "Download Status" to DONE and then you reload the primary WLC.
What will happen is the APs will be loaded with the new IOS. So the APs and WLC will reload simultaneously and cut your wireless outage to a bare minimum.

WLC Upgradation / Degradation

I have one WCS running 3.0.101.0. Currently there are few WLC's(inturn supporting Cisco 1010 AP's) associated with it which are running 3.2.150.6 and 3.2.195.10. I have one more WLC which is running 4.2.61.0 which is not getting added in WCS. I came to know the reason was WCS is running one revision older firmware. The solution is to upgrade WCS to 4.0 or 5.0, but if i upgrade the same then will WCS support the existing WLC's running 3.2.X.X ? Also if i degrade the 4.2.61.0 WLC to 3.2 then will there be any impact to the connected AP's (Cisco 1010 and 1242AG both running on 4.2.61.0. Please let me know the best solution so that all my WLC's get added to WCS successfully.

There should be no reason for the WCS to be upgraded to a higher firmware than the WLC. The only question I would like to ask is why are your WLC running different firmware (3.2.150.6 and 3.2.195.10)?
WLC's running different firmwares will force the AP's to up/downgrade the IOS everytime the AP's swing from one WLC to another.

Cisco 3750G Integrated WLC upgrade failure

I am trying to upgrade our Cisco 3750G Integrated WLC from version 5 to version 7, at 92% I receive an error
Code file transfer failed - Error while writing output file
There is enough space on WLC,
Total System Memory............: 529088512 bytes
Used System Memory.............: 121180160 bytes
Free System Memory.............: 407908352 bytes
I have tried 2 different TFTP servers..
Any thoughts?

Hi,
1. Is it OK to upgrade to SWLC3750K9-5-2-193-0.aes ? or do I need to go through 4.2 first ?
ANS - Yes you have to upgrade to 4.2 first and then to 5.2, here is the doc..
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn52xgmr1.html#wp233853
2. Will that code upgrade the bootloader at the same time?
ANS - Yes, after upgrading the WLC code upgrade the boot loader.. the boot loader is 5.2.157 (BOOT)
3. How can I make sure there is enough flash space on the WLC?
ANS - Dont worry.. we have enough flash!!
4. Are there any special considerations to plan/prepare for?
ANS - Yes, please upgrade the WLC in a planned , scheduled maitenance window.
The DHCP issue is failure of associated clients to get an IP address with this message found in WLC debugging:
Wed Jul 20 17:16:37 2011: 00:19:db:5b:38:73 dhcpProxy: Dropping packet (no mscb) from STA 00:19:db:5b:38:73, giaddr:0.0.0.0, udpSrcPort:68, op:1

Windows 2003 SP2 upgrade question in regards to OSS 30478

We are currently running our production system on a windows 2003 sp1 two-node cluster with SQL 2005.
I would like to get it upgraded to SP2, but I have a question on OSS note 30478.
There is a sentence in there stating:
-Special features with Service Packs for Windows Server 2003 in the cluster:
Service Pack 2: Before you import Support Package on platform x86_64, you must replace SAP resource DLL on both cluster nodes with the most current version.
Can someone elaborate on "replace SAP resources DLL on both cluster nodes"?
Does that just mean I need to upgrade the Kernel to the latest version?
It seems to be a fairly bold statement with very vague instructions. Anyways any guidance would be appreciated.

for more details see note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1043592">1043592</a>
