Special Rules for Upgrading to Controller Software Release 7.0.116.0
Before upgrading your controller to software release 7.0.116.0, you must comply with the following rules:
•Before you download a software image or an ER.aes file to a 2100 series controller or a controller network module, use the show memory statistics CLIcommand to see the current amount of free memory. If the controller has less than 90 MB of free memory, you need to reboot it before downloading the file.
•Before you use an AP801 series lightweight access point with controller software release 7.0.116.0, you must upgrade the software in the Cisco 860 and 880 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) to Cisco IOS 12.4(22)T and the software in the Cisco 890 Series Integrated Services Router to Cisco IOS 12.4(22)YB.
•Make sure that you have a TFTP or FTP server available for the software upgrade. Keep these guidelines in mind when setting up a TFTP or FTP server:
–Controller software release 7.0.116.0 is larger than 32 MB; therefore, you must make sure that your TFTP server supports files that are larger than 32 MB. Some TFTP servers that support files of this size are tftpd and the TFTP server within the WCS. If you attempt to download the 7.0.116.0 controller software and your TFTP server does not support files of this size, the following error message appears: "TFTP failure while storing in flash."
–If you are upgrading through the service port, the TFTP or FTP server must be on the same subnet as the service port because the service port is not routable, or you must create static routes on the controller.
–If you are upgrading through the distribution system network port, the TFTP or FTP server can be on the same or a different subnet because the distribution system port is routable.
–A third-party TFTP or FTP server cannot run on the same computer as WCS because the WCS built-in TFTP or FTP server and the third-party TFTP or FTP server require the same communication port.
•You can upgrade or downgrade the controller software only between certain releases. In some instances, you must first install an intermediate release prior to upgrading to software release 7.0.116.0. Table 3shows the upgrade path that you must follow before downloading software release 7.0.116.0.
•Before you use an AP802 series lightweight access point with controller software release 7.0.116.0, you must upgrade the software in the Next Generation Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) to Cisco IOS 151-4.M or later releases.
Table 3 Upgrade Path to Controller Software Release 7.0.116.0
Current Software Release | Upgrade Path to 7.0.116.0 Software |
|---|
3.2.78.0 or later 3.2 release | Upgrade to a 4.1 release and then upgrade to 4.2.176.0 before upgrading to 7.0.116.0. |
4.0.155.5 or later 4.0 release | Upgrade to 4.2.176.0 before upgrading to 7.0.116.0. |
4.1.171.0 or later 4.1 release | Upgrade to 4.2.176.0 before upgrading to 7.0.116.0. |
4.1.191.xM | Upgrade to 4.1.192.35M and then to 6.0.182.0 before upgrading to 7.0.116.0. |
4.1.192.22M or 4.1.192.35M | Upgrade to 6.0.182.0 before upgrading to 7.0.116.0. |
4.2.130.0 or earlier 4.2 release | Upgrade to 4.2.176.0 before upgrading to 7.0.116.0. |
4.2.173.0 or later 4.2 release | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
4.2.209.0 or later 4.2 release | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
5.0.148.0 or later 5.0 release | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
5.1.151.0 or later 5.1 release | Upgrade to a 5.2 or a 6.0 release and then upgrade to 7.0.116.0. |
5.2.157.0 or later 5.2 release | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
6.0.188.0 or later 6.0 release | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
6.0.196.0 or later 6.0 release | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
7.0.98.0 | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
7.0.98.218 | You can upgrade directly to 7.0.116.0. |
Note When you upgrade the controller to an intermediate software release, wait until all of the access points joined to the controller are upgraded to the intermediate release before you install the 7.0.116.0 software. In large networks, it can take some time to download the software on each access point.
Note If you upgrade to the controller software release 7.0.116.0 from an earlier release, you must also upgrade WCS to 7.0.172.0 and MSE to 7.0.201.204.
•We recommend that you install the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller Boot Software 5.2.157.0 ER.aes file on all controller platforms. This file resolves CSCsm03461 and is necessary in order for you to view the version information for ER.aes files in the output of the show sysinfo CLI command. If you do not install this ER.aes file, your controller does not obtain the fix for this defect, and "N/A" appears in the Emergency Image Version field in the output of this command.
Note The ER .aes files are independent from the controller software files. You can run any controller software file with any ER.aes file. However, installing the latest boot software file (5.2.157.0 ER.aes) ensures that the boot software modifications in all of the previous and current boot software ER.aes files are installed.
•It is not possible to upgrade or download a new image if FIPS is enabled.
Caution If you require a downgrade from one release to another, you may lose the configuration from your current release. The workaround is to reload the previous controller configuration files saved on the backup server or to reconfigure the controller.
Software Release Support for Access Points
Table 4lists the controller software releases that support specific Cisco access points. The First Support column lists the earliest controller software release that supports the access point. For access points that are not supported in ongoing releases, the Last Support column lists the last release that supports the access point.

WCS and Navigator Compatibility
Cisco WCS and Cisco WCS Navigator must be from the same release in order to be compatible (see Table 8). Although the release numbers will not be the same, you must verify whether they were part of the same release.
For example, Cisco WCS Navigator 1.0 is compatible with Cisco WCS 4.1, and Cisco WCS Navigator 1.1.x is compatible with any Cisco WCS 4.2.x.
Note When Cisco WCS Navigator is upgraded to a new version, the corresponding Cisco WCS must also be upgraded to the corresponding new version. For example, if Cisco WCS Navigator is upgraded to version 1.6, Cisco WCS must also be upgraded to the corresponding version 7.0.
