Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
Hello all, Prime 1.4 as the only version that supports 7.5 will be supported in Prime 2.1, supposed be January/February 2014. Prime 1.4 is not upgradeable to 2.0, only Prime 1.3 can go to version 2.0. https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4005883#4005883 Hope this helps.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
I wouldn't advise anyone to be using 7.5 until some major work is done on it. We had to scale back to 7.4.110 and even then have been running into bugs (lockups, log spam - not fun). TAC just provided us an engineering version 7.4.111.9 that promises to fix lots of issues - the version notes are 2 pages of bug fixes.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
Hi, We hit this bug well over a year ago on 7.2 and opened some of the initial cases that resulted in the fix. The TAC may be able to provide an engineering release to resolve the issue. Do your APs crash and reload or do they hang?

That bug hit us hard since we depend on webauth.
We upgraded to a more recent 7.5. code but then hit another bug:
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuj59101
"On rare occasions, the Cisco Aironet
series Access Point crashes and reboots due to corruption of a
certain data-structure used to optimize 802.11n AMPDU aggregation
for better throughput.
A decode of the crash traceback will
usually reference functions with the names "avl" or "wavl"; for
example:
[0x005CE9CC]
dot11_11n_aggr_pkt_time_compare(0x5ce980)+0x4c
[0x008FD2EC] avl_get_next(0x8fd2bc)+0x30
[0x008FEB58]
wavl_get_next(0x8feac8)+0x90
[0x0060783C]
disc_tx_11n_aggr_timer_send(0x6075c0)+0x27c
Conditions:
This bug will only occur with AP images
from Cisco Unified WLC software releases 7.2.x.x, 7.3.x.x,
7.4.x.x, and 7.5.x.x -- or the corresponding Autonomous or
Converged Access AP images."
I wouldn't say it only happened on "RARE OCCASIONS" either.
The only solution was for us to go back down to 7.4 code. I
don't recall running into so many bugs with our WLC 4404's.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
First time posting, just joined the list this week, should have been on here a decade ago. I'm only on NCS 1.1.1.24 but I've started seeing problems with nearly all the latest browser versions on Mac and Windows. In a search for a Firefox fork that doesn't exhibit these issues I came across Pale Moon(palemoon.org), a hardware-optimized fork of Firefox. So far running Pale Moon 24.1.1 I haven't experienced any of the "There was an error while parsing and rendering the content" or related issues that I'm getting on FF, Chrome, and Safari. The one caveat being that Pale Moon is Windows-only. And of course there's no guarantees that the incompatibilities cropping up with other browsers won't appear with Pale Moon. I suppose there's also always the option of administering from a VM with frozen compatible versions of browsers/Java/etc but window-in-a-window gets old after a while. -- Jason Watts Pratt Institute, Academic Computing Senior Network Administrator On 11/15/2013 5:59 PM, Garret Peirce wrote: I'm using 7.5 on some 8510s w/PI1.3 , mainly due to CSCty84682 - dropping mcast packets (ex. bonjour announcements).

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
I'm using 7.5 on some 8510s w/PI1.3 , mainly due to CSCty84682 - dropping mcast packets (ex. bonjour announcements). As a formerly discussed topic, I'm finding browser support is growing evermore painful. I was holding off on PI 1.4 hoping not to get myself wedged into a specific train, but I'm aiming to move to it for improved browser support alone. I could inquire with Cisco but, I'm here... Anyone have current info on the WLC/PI roadmap? Any sense if 2.0 will merge into 2.1 or will they remain separate trains? We’re using that combo. Seems to be quite a bit more stable than 7.4.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
Hi, We are also using this combo. We initially had issues with 1142 series access points radios randomly freezing, requiring a reboot to resolve the issue. http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCui66891 Cisco provided software (7.5.102.8) that resolved the bug and appears to be quite stable, but it still does not seem to be available for general download. Also our local Cisco engineer, pointed out that you can't upgrade to Prime 2.0 if you have version 7.5 on your controllers. So if you are hoping to upgrade Prime, then maybe stick with 7.4 Peter.

My understanding is the 7.5 also allows HA over non-VSS 6500 chassis (which is what we're going to launch soon).

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
Might be worth getting your account team involved or escalating the case and asking again. It isn't unreasonable to want an MR version with a fix for your bug, and from what I've been hearing you might be waiting a while for a >7.4 MR build for a bit. -Luke On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Alan Nord wrote: > Thanks for the info. > > The bug we are hitting is CSCuc86805.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.5 & Prime 1.4
Thanks for the info. The bug we are hitting is CSCuc86805. Only fixed in 7.5 and 8.0 according to the bug notes. I've asked for an engineering build of 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 to fix the issue but the TAC engineer said that was not possible. I think I may end up holding off until January based on how things are currently going. On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Luke Jenkins wrote: > We've been running 7.5/1.4 without too many issues.
