Hi All,
I am trying to upgrade WLC 2504 LAN controller IOS version from 7.6.130.0 to 8.5.1.171.0. I understand that there is an upgrade path for this. 7.6.130.0 --> 8.3.X.X --> 8.5.X.X. However, there is an information regarding to FUS version upgrade needed for IOS upgrade in the release note.
===========================================================================
In Release note for Wireless LAN Controller Field Upgrade Software for Release 1.9.0.0, it says:
===========================================================================
Field Recovery Image is upgraded from 7.0.112.21 to 7.6.101.1
Bootloader is upgraded to 1.020
Offline field Diagnostic is upgraded from 0.9.28 to 0.9.35
===========================================================================
In Release note for Wireless LAN Controller Field Upgrade Software for Release 2.0.0.0, it says:
===========================================================================
Bootloader version is upgraded to 1.0.20
Firmware PIC will be 20.0
Wireless LAN Controller and AP model
WLC Model: AIR-CT2500-K9
AP Model: AIR-CAP2602I-S-K9
Based on my show sysinfo, WLC field Recovered Image version already upgraded to 7.6.101.1, Firmware version is PIC 20.0 and Bootloader version is 1.0.20. Therefore, I am confused whether I should upgrade FUS version or not. As my output seems to show my FUS version is 2.0.0.0. However, I cannot confirm. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks

Hi Leo Laohoo,
Thank you for your reply. Is it ok to upgrade the FUS if my FUS is on the par with the latest FUS software on WLC? For example, my bootloader 1.0.20, PIC PIC 20.0 already show that my WLC FUS version could have already been FUS 2.0.0.0.
Will double installation of FUS cause any issue on my WLC?

No. If the Bootloader is already on 1.0.20 then skip this process (go immediately to step 3).
