Upgrading to Controller Software Release 7.4.100.0
Upgrading to Controller Software Release 7.4.100.0
Guidelines and Limitations
•
When H-REAP access points that are associated with a controller that has all the 7.0.x software
releases that are prior to 7.0.240.0 upgrade to the 7.4.100.0 release, the access points lose their
VLAN support configuration if it was enabled. The VLAN mappings revert to the default values of
the VLAN of the associated interface. This issue does not occur if you upgrade from 7.0.240.0 or
later 7.0.x release to the 7.4.100.0 release.

While a client sends an HTTP request, the Controller intercepts it for redirection to login page. If
the HTTP request intercepted by Controller is fragmented, the Controller drops the packet as the
HTTP request does not contain enough information required for redirection.

We recommend that you install Wireless LAN Controller Field Upgrade Software for Release
1.7.0.0-FUS, which is a special AES package that contains several system-related component
upgrades. These include the bootloader, field recovery image, and FPGA/MCU firmware. Installing
the FUS image requires special attention because it installs some critical firmware. The FUS image
is independent of the runtime image. For more information, see

If you are using a Cisco 2500 Series controller and you intend to use the Application Visibility and
Control (AVC) and NetFlow protocol features, you must install Wireless LAN Controller Field
Upgrade Software for Release 1.8.0.0-FUS. This is not required if you are using other controller
hardware models. For more information, see

After you upgrade to the 7.4 release, networks that were not affected by the existing
preauthentication ACLs might not work because the rules are now enforced. That is, networks with
clients configured with static DNS servers might not work unless the static server is defined in the
preauthentication ACL.

On 7500 controllers if FIPS is enabled, the reduced boot options are displayed only after a
bootloader upgrade.

Note
Bootloader upgrade is not required if FIPS is disabled.
•
If you require a downgrade from one release to another, you might 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.
