Hello all,

We are planning to upgrade our controller 5508 from 7.0.116.0 to 7.1.91.0. Is this directly possible or i have to put some other image before directly upgrading it?

please provide link stating this.

Hello george,

I could find the below. But after 7.0.98.218, its not suggesting the later release(7.0.116.0) for direct upgrade...?

Agreed. You will be fine there is no issues from 7.0.116.0 to 7.1.91.0. We had a customer who did it .. Not many folks go to 7.1.91.0.  It was added for 3600 ap support.

Why don't you go directly to 7.4.100.X?

Because he likes his wireless network and the stability !

Then I'd stick with 7.0.240.X.  LOL

I don't think v7.1 is available to download anymore as it was just an interim code.
