Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco WLC5508

[Samuel Clements]

To follow up on Jakes comment, you're asking for a 'stable release' that
supports 'bleeding edge hardware'. If you're expecting to run the latest
and greatest APs, you should expect some code churn for the first 6 months
or so post-FCS to allow for show stopping bugs. If you look at the feature
navigator, it spells it out in much nicer terms:
http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/jsp/reldesignation.jsp

But in general, you're either running 'super-stable stale release' or
'feature release'. That doesn't mean that there is no such thing as a
stable release with new features, you just have to be aware of the risks
with any manufacturers new hardware and the software required to go along
(read: this isn't a Cisco problem, but an industry issue with everyone
Apple/Intel/Aruba/Ruckus/Broadcom/QCA/etc).

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco WLC5508

[Jeffrey D. Sessler]

For the new wave-2 AP’s e.g. 2800/3800, you’ll need 8.2 MR1 which is do toward 
the end of April. The 2800/3800 first customer ship (FCS) being mid-May.

Future:
Mobility express support is in 8.3, due FCS + 3 months
FIPS/CC, Enhanced Location/Fast Locate, and Bridge Mode (Mesh) is 8.3 MR1, due 
FCS + 6 months.

When 2800/3800 start shipping, there will be a release to support them.  My 
guess would be an 8.3 release.

RE: Cisco WLC5508

[Linchuan Yang]

Dear Sturm

We were running the code 8.0.121 on our 5508 controllers. However, one of the 
controllers started rebooting every two or three days after the reading week. 
The cisco engineer told us that the controller hit a bug CSCuw52341 (WLC crash 
with RRM task RRM-CLNT-5_0 is due to a bug CSCuw52341), and suggested us to 
upgrade to an engineer code (version 8.1.131.13) to fix this bug. We have run 
this code on all of our 5508 controllers for about two weeks, and did not have 
any problem. Furthermore, if you plan to do the hyperlocation with the AC wave 
two Aps, you’d better upgrade to the code 8.1 or higher.

Have a nice day.

Yours,​

We are currently running the 8.0 MR3 Beta without any issues.

Version 8.0.122.44.

There is a newer version out, but we have not upgraded.

I suspect 8.0 MR3 will be out in near future.

For more information about the beta, go here.

We have been happily running  8.0.121.0 after asking a similar question a
couple months ago.  You could check the archives for that discussion.
