WLC Firmware upgrade

[#1]

I am working on a firmware upgrade on WLC 5508 and WLC 2100 from 7.2.111.3 to 7.4.121.  I have 10 forign controllers and 2 anchor controllers.  My question are:

(1) Should I upgrade the forign controllers first or anchor controllers first?

(2) Should I or do I need to upgrade Cisco NCS, 1.1.1.24, after the WLC firmware upgrade?

(3) SHould I or do I need to upgrade CIsco MSE to latest version?

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Be aware 2100 seres last support is 7.0.240.0.

1. Doest matter the order.

2. Better to check for comaptibilty.

(1) Should I upgrade the foreign controllers first or anchor controllers first?

Does not matter the order.

Make sure you upgrade the FUS to 1.9.0.0 version as well

(2) Should I or do I need to upgrade Cisco NCS, 1.1.1.24, after the WLC firmware upgrade?

Refer the below link (table 4) compatibility matrix, you should have NCS/Prime 1.3.x

(3) Should I or do I need to upgrade CIsco MSE to latest version?

Refer the table 7 of the above link, you should have MSE 7.4.121.0 as well for compatibility
