Help, need to upgrade WC5508 from 6.0.199 to 7.4.100

[rhienwei2010]

Hello

I have a WC5508, base license, Image version 6.0.199.4.  I need to upgrade it to 7.4.100 to support new AP 1600 serise. Can I upgrade it to 7.4.100 directly, I understand I will lose Vlan mapping on H-REAP settings, but that's OK, I can redo that, apart from that, any other concerns?

Thanks a lot.

Can I upgrade it to 7.4.100 directly,

No you can't upgrade directly.

Upgrade first to 7.0.98.0 and then go straight to whatever you want to go to.

1.  Upgrade the FUS as well.

2.  Be warned, 7.4.100.0 isn't really a good firmware.  Go to 7.4.110.0 instead.  A newer version of the 7.4.X will be released in the next few months.

and FUS is?  sorry for the noob question.

sorry for the noob question.

Don't apologize.  At least you asked.  That means a lot. 

FUS means Field Upgradable Software.  Read the details below:

Hi Leo.

I am going to upgrade from 6.0.199.4 to 7.4.121. But, 7.0.98.0 is not available for download. What intermediante version can I use?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Jorge,

You can use any v7.0.x code available.
