WISM2 7.2

[M. Wisely]

We've recently recieved a couple of WISM2 WLCs and upgraded them to 7.2.110.0 since it increases throughput and maximim APs. I've now checked and each WISM2 has 2 10Gb interfaces and one port channel.

Am I wrong to expect both 10Gb interfaces to be within the port channel (like the WISM1 port channel had 4 1Gb interfaces in it)?

Both 10Gb ports in each WISM2 have traffic going over them with the port not in the port channel having slightly less traffic.

Wireless Services Module (WiSM) -2 2 Data Planes are the next generation wireless data processing service modules for Cat6k after service blade WiSM and WiSM-2 1 DP. There are no differences between the WiSM-2 1DP and WiSM-2 2 DP, other than the SW release before 7.2 Cisco supported only one Data Plane on the Blade. The second DP was physically on the board, but was not activated in the software. With the release of the Controller software version 7.2.103 and new software for Sup 720 and Sup 2Tmodules, both Data Planes are activated. Therefore, support for up to 1000 access points (APs) and 15,000 clients is provided with a total throughput of 20 GBsec.

it is funny wism2 datasheet did not mention about this 10gig interface.

it is funny wism2 datasheet did not mention about this 10gig interface.

Can I ask if you can create a document bug to update the WiSM-2 datasheet?

[Saravanan Lakshmanan]

Sure Leo.

[Leo Laohoo]

Thank you very much.

[Saravanan Lakshmanan]

you are welcome!!

[M. Wisely]

Thanks for your answers.

So should this second 10Gb port be in the port-channel that's created by the WISM2?

Obviously this isn't configurable, I'm just wondering if this is a bug.

#Initial System Configuration with Sup 720

Complete these steps:

    Upgrade the Cat 65XX with the Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.2(33)SXJ2 provided on Cisco.com.

    Note: If upgrading from WiSM-2 1DP to WiSM-2 2 DP, first you need to upgrade the Cat65XX to 12.2(33)SXJ2 before upgrading the WiSM2 to the 7.2.103.0 code to enable DP2. Also, vice versa if downgrading the Cat 65XX to below 12.2(33)SXJ2 you need to downgrade the WiSM-2 2DP to a WiSM-2 1DP image.

    Only after upgrading the Catalyst IOS software the system will recognize the WiSM-2 2DP blade.

#Initial System Configuration with Sup 2T

Complete these steps:

    Upgrade the Cat 65XX with the Cisco IOS Software Release 15.0(1)SY1 provided on Cisco.com.

    Note: If upgrading from WiSM-2 1DP to WiSM-2 2 DP, first you need to upgrade the Cat65XX to 15.0(1)SY1 before you upgrade the WiSM2 to the 7.2.103.0 code to enable DP2. Also, vice versa if downgrading the Cat 65XX to earlier than 15.0(1)SY1 you need to downgrade the WiSM-2 2DP to a WiSM-2 1DP image.

    Only after upgrading the Catalyst IOS software the system will recognize the WiSM-2 2DP blade.
