Cisco WLC 2504 sofware update

[umar bhatti]

Dear Friends,

I am using Cisco WLC 2504 current software version is 7.0.220.0 and I want to upgrade it to the latest version which is 8.x.x.x.

Could you please help and advice the best way of doing it? Also can I upgrade direct to the latest version or do I have to upgrade step by step?

Thank you very much for your help and support.

Thanks

Umar

Hi

Could you please help and advice the best way of doing it? Also can I upgrade direct to the latest version or do I have to upgrade step by step?

Yes, you can go directly to 8.0.x from 7.0.x code. Refer below link

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn80mr1.html#68333

Make sure you refer the release notes for any known issues with this code. Also upgrade FUS to 1.9.0.0 as well. This will take around 30 min downtime as well.

If you have different AP models, MSE, Prime products, refer this compatibility matrix as reference.
