Cisco Wireless :: WISM2 7.0 To 7.2 Upgrade
Sep 17, 2012
We have some new WISM2 running 7.0.116.0, but now we need to upgrade their license to suport 1000 APs. So I am looking at upgrading the software to 7.2.110.0. We are running WCS at the moment and got NCS with the new WISM2, so going to 7.3 and buying Prime Infrastructure is not an option at the moment, thus we are going for 7.2.
The thing is I can't seem to find much info about this upgrade. Is 7.0->7.2 a smooth upgrade? Do we need to do any configuration changes to the WISM2 or LAP1242? We are running H-REAP, will the change to FlexConnect be affected? I can't seem to find anything regarding requirements for 6500/SUP for running WISM2 7.2, do I need a certain software for that?

My company has been contracted to upgrade the 2 WiSM1 modules on a 6509 for a customer. The hardware isn't changing but the software is being upgraded to WiSM2. The cutsomer has HUNDREDS of AP's and dozens of VLANs and subnets (large municipality and school district).
Cisco SE's have been pushing the customer to purchase the WCS 7 software (they've been managing these Controllers independantly) stating there is no mechanism to upgrade WiSM1 configs to WiSM2. I am vaguely familiar with the cisco controllers but have little WiSM experience. So i feel like i'm working without a net here.
So,
1) Any way to migrate from 1 to 2 without the WCS and without having to reinvent the wheel?
2) How does the WCS make this transition easier? What does it do to the WiSM1 configs to make them WiSM2 compatable?

I have a question regarding WISM2 DP and licensing.
Suppose i have a WISM2 with 7.0, 500AP license today and i activate WISM2-DP by upgrading to 7.2,Do i get 500 AP capacity for free (total 1000AP) or do i get 250APs on each WISM2-blade ?
If i get 500APs for free, why is Cisco selling an expensive licensed 1000 AP WISM2 ? I better buy a single-plane 500AP-WISM2 and upgrade it myself then...50% profit.
Is this the same for a WISM2-300 (supporting 300 APs) ?When i activate WISM2-DP here, do i get an extra 300 AP or an extra 500 APs ? Or 150AP on each blade ?

I having an issue with WCS and the new code 7.4 on my WiSM2 blade. When I try to refresh configuration from/to controller it fails. I just upgraded from 7.01 and it worked before the upgrade.
Is this not supported?
I am able to change configuration from WCS to the WiSM2 and it works fine just cant copy config.

I have just been setting up a WISM2 in a test lab and for some reason the Supervisor is not creating a port channel on my 6500 as suggested in the WISM2 Deployment Guide. WISM2 is installed in an appropriate slot (according to same doco) and have attempted reset to factory defaults, removing and power cycling several times.

I have installed WiSM2 with ver 7.4 and Bonjour works great with instruction provided, But…… 2 problems. I cant get it to work on the same subnet. (odd since the whole problem was not able to work across subnets), More important the new Code function / password function on the airplay wont work. I get the code on the projector, but the ipad never pop up the login box it just errors out.

I am about to migrate WISM1 to WISM2, The image of WISM1 is 6.0.199.4 and the image of WISM2 is 7.2.111.3.
Do i need to upgrade WISM1 to 7.2.111.3 before i export the configuration and import it into WISM2? Or can i just export the configuration from WISM1 on 6.0.199.4 and import directly to WISM2 which is on 7.1.111.3?

I have a wireless network running with Controller WISM2 and I also have a NCS.I want to know if there is any way to look of individual log of CAPWAP and LAPWAP Access Points. It is better if I can see it through NCS.

I have a situation where a customer doesn't have the required power units installed in their 6500 for me to provision a WiSM2.They use a VSS pair with a single Sup720 in each. They have no intention of adding a second Sup to each chassis.
I need to justify why they can't use slot 6 (which has power reserved) if I am to get them to upgrade the PSU's. The documentation I've found says it is supported but not recommended.

I've just reset our WISM2 in the test lab back to factory default as I needed to reconfigure the 6500 and the WISM2 itself. Bearing in mind I had it working before.I've just renamed and re-addressed some of the vlans so things flow better and make it easier to add more WISM2s in the future.Now I've run through the initial configuration and it's rebooted ok and show WISM status is showing Oper-Up and there's a port channel 407 been created as I would expect. However, I am unable to get to the management interface via GUI or SSH. In fact from the 6500 I can't even ping the management interface (but I can the service port).The Vlans have been changed in the 6500 config so it knows the native-vlan and service vlan etc and all the vlans are up/up.

I've installed our previous WISMs and other WISM2s previously and never had a problem.
6500 running SXJ2. WISM2 running 7.3.101.0 (which is what the rest of our WISM2s are on)
Insert WISM and go through initial setup. Run a show wism status on the 6500, and show sysinfo on the WISM. All looks good. Service port and management vlans are up. From the 6500 I can ping the service port IP, but not the management IP. From the WISM I can't ping the managment default gw but I can the service port. Unable to get anything back from the GUI..not surprising as not even ping works.
Now, as I said I've done it this way many times before...in fact I'm following my documentation from the last successful implementation and even adding in Cisco docs.

how to safely remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch? According to the documentation "Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module 2 Installation and Verification Note":
To remove the WiSM2, perform these steps:
Step1 Shut down the module by one of these methods: In privileged mode from the router prompt, enter the hw-mod module mod shutdown command. NoteIf you enter this command to shut down the module, you must enter the following commands in global configuration mode to restart (power down, and then power up) the module: Router# no power enable module modRouter# power enable module mod If the module does not respond to any commands, press the SHUTDOWN button located on the front panel of the module.
Step2 Verify that the WiSM2 shuts down. Do not remove the module from the switch until the POWER LEDis off.
But, in the case of Step1 (1st methods) I do not see a option "shutdown" in the command "hw-mod module 3"...
All I prompted to enter is: c6500#hw-module module 3 ?
boot Specify boot options for the module through Power Management Bus control register
reset Reset specified component
simulate Simulate options for the module Is it hidden options?
IOS version of c6500 is 12.2(33)SXJ1
In the case of Step2 (2nd methods) there is not any button on the front panel of the module?
And yet, it is better to remove the module configuration manually or use the command module clear-config prior to removing the module?

it is normal for the WISM2 time to be resetted to default of 1 Jan 2000 after rebooting the 6506E if no NTP is configured?I had to configure it back to the correct time. If not, the APs will not come up.Also, does the ap or wlc keep track of the ap group the ap is provisioned to?

We have just installed lms 4.2 and are having problems collecting config and inventory from ws-svc-wism2-k9. The response from TAC was that this is not supported. And it also says this in
[URL]
Is this really the case ? Will there be released packeges to support this. It would be really useful if this was supported in lms4.2.

I know the WiSM 2 is like the 5500 WLC regarding the fact that you do not need to configure an ap-manager interface for CAPWAP packets because by default the managment interface acts like an ap-manager interface.
Any major advantages or disadvantages by letting the default action occur?

I am confused about the cisco docs:What is the minimum WLC/WCS version to support WISM2 controllers ?
The datasheet of WISM2 says "minimum 7.0.116.0"
URL
However the release notes of 7.0.116.0 do not mention the WISM2 module ?
URL
The release notes of 7.0.220.0 do mention the WISM2:
URL
I need to be absolutely sure as there are other software dependencies between 7.0.116.0 and 7.0.220 (regarding required MSE and Aeroscout versions).
With WCS 7.0.172.0 and WLC 7.0.116.0, will we have WISM2 support ?

Just loaded the 7.2.103.0 software onto the brand new WiSM2. Going throught the options and have found that under the global parameters for 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n radios is now the "Maximum Allowed Clients" option. The allowed setting is from 1 - 200 clients.
Does that mean only 200 clients will be allowed to associate to the WLC on that radio at a maximum?
Doesn't seems to make sense... I have the 500 AP license on this WiSM2... I know this option used to be an optional setting under a WLAN in previous releases.

I have two Windows 7 computers and neither one will successfully upgrade a 1242 AP to LWAP. However, I go to a coworker's XP machine and run the tool without issues. On Windows 7 I keep receiving the error message of ACL or Firewall is blocking. I have added rules and then even tried disabling the firewalls completely on both computers and still no success.

Is it possible to upgrade the CSACS-1121-UP-K9 to be a non upgrade part? We were going to upgrade from a Windows 4.x to the above Appliance (version 5.x) but there is now a reason to keep the old Windows version running therefore we cannot give the new Appliance the old ACS's licenses?!So we should have (with hindsight) bought a fresh version of the ACS 5.x rather than an upgrade.

we have started to do the upgrade from WCS 7.0 to PI12. In order to do that we first need to upgrade to NCS 1.1. We have ordered the following from Cisco:
R-W-PI12-M-K9WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 MigrationN/A14 daysNoN/A11.995,00 1.995,00 01.995,00 R-PI12-BASE-K9Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base License and SoftwareN/A14 daysYesN/A10,00 0,00 00,00 L-PI12-LF-500-
[Code]....
L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9 is the Product Number to do the upgrade from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.0, R-WCS-PI11-M-K9 is the product number to dothe upgrade from WCS 7.0 to NCS/PI 1.1.
If I try to install just the License File I get from Cisco using the XML file from our WCS 7.0 installation, I get the error "Unable to add any license without an NCS (L-NCS-1.0-K9) license.".
But how do a get this license if I ordered R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to PI1.2 Upgrade License)? What is the step to get the right License?

I'm planning to upgrade our WLC 2504 from 7.2.111.3 to 7.4.100.0 but the cisco site says "WLC Version 7.4.100.0 will need Prime Infrastructure Version 1.3 to be managed, Version 1.3 is not yet available to download at this point of time" Is it something about NCS? we have only 1 cisco WLC 2504 and 6 1142APs.. Also let me know is it possible to go directly from 7.2 to 7.4 ?

Since we have now got a go for upgrading the IOS I have a little difficaulties finding if the current IOS will upgrade correctly to the advised version without any loss.Current version is (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(18)SXF7 In the realease notes for IOS 12.2(33)SXJ I can't find any upgrade matrix or upgrade train.Will this version upgrade without causing any mishaps on current WiSM(ver.1) and switch config?I didn't get any adequate answer, but since NO ONE did mention any repercussions, we did the upgrade......and we did loose configuration !Still the WiSM (version 1) is working all right, but where did the related WiSM configuration go?.How can you do a span session if you have no interface to tie onto?

I am planing to upgrade 2 of my 5508 series WLC from 7.0.116 to version 7.2.111.3. I understand that legacy AP's are no longer supported. Is the upgrade straight-forward just like other code upgrades?

Any info on performing this upgrade. The release notes that I have looked over make it sound like if I want to do the data migration that I must first upgrade the MSE to version 7.0.201.204 and then go to 7.0.220.0. This is only what I have come up with, this isn't clearly stated from what I have read. How to performe this upgrade with the data migration?

After upgrading, ping times from clients has gone from ~10ms to ~2500ms. I have a Cisco 7500 Flex controller, when running controller code version 7.0.220.0 client performance was as expected. When using code 7.2.103.0 performance is terrible. I have tried upgrade to 7.2.103.0 and clean configuration (reset) with 7.2.103.0 with the same results.
I have tested using 3502i APs with the signal metrics (from AP) reported by the clients (all testing close to these figures):
Signal Strength : -48 dBm
Signal to Noise : 49 dB
AP's are in HREAP/Flex mode. The WLANs use HREAP/FlexConnect local switching. I have tested WLAN's with WPA2-PSK and 802.1x/WPA2 with the same results. I have tested several clientsoperatign systems , laptops, ipads, iphone. All experience consitent poor ping latency peformance on both 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz when using controller code 7.2.103.0.
I have switched between 7.0.220.0 and 7.2.103.0 several times and the results are consistent; good performance on 7.0.220.0 and terrible performance on 7.2.103.0. I would like to use 7.2.103.0 for its enhanced FlexConnect features but this is a real show stopper.

We have WCS running 7.0.164.3...We had upgraded WLSE to WCS a few years back.
I am planning to upgrade WCS to 7.0.240.0... What is the procedure of upgrading WCS in this case? I am not quite sure about the procedure as our WCS was a WLSE before.
