Overview

Cisco Unified Wireless Network Field Upgrade Software (FUS), Release 1.8.0.0, is a special AES package that performs various system-related component upgrades for Cisco Wireless LAN 2500 Series Controllers.

If you are using a Cisco 2500 Series Controller and you upgrade to the 7.4.100.0 controller software release and intend to use the Application Visibility and Control (AVC) and NetFlow protocol features, you must install Cisco Unified Wireless Network Field Upgrade Software, Release 1.8.0.0. This release is not required if you are using other controller hardware models.

Table 1 lists the components that are upgraded after you install FUS.

Controller Hardware Model

Components Upgraded

Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controllers

•Field Recovery Image is upgraded to runtime image version

•Bootloader is upgraded to 1.0.18

•Offline Field Diagnostics is upgraded to 0.9.28

Guidelines and Limitations

Caution Ensure that there are no power outages during the upgrade. Power outages during the upgrade might lead to the controller not being usable.

•This release of FUS is applicable only to Cisco Wireless LAN 2500 Series Controllers.

•You must install FUS only once.

•Although console access to the controller during the upgrade process is not required, we recommend that you have the console access so that you can monitor the progress of the process.

•The FUS upgrade process reboots the controller several times and reboots the default runtime image. The whole process takes approximately 30 minutes.
