My academic environment is running 5.3-158. Things seen stable. My ResNet environment moved to 6.x to combat the occasional ap reboot, gain AP832/822 support as well as the wildcard cert support and the OS identification feature. No config loss on the upgrades. ResNet tech staff not reporting troubles on 6.1-1-23 so far. 99% AP1020 on MC4200.

We had no issues with the configuration after the upgrade. We had to revert to 5.3.158 due to various issue on 6.1 and lost some of our configurations. Currently we are stable at 5.3.158. -------- Original message -------- From: Gonzalo Cervantes Date:04/24/2014 5:53 PM (GMT-05:00) To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Meru upgrade to SD 6.1 Also, what was the motivating factor to upgrade to 6.1?

Josh, I also looked over the release notes and seen what you pointed out. We have three 4200s that will need to jump to 5.1-93 before we can jump to 6.1-x-x (whatever release is Heartbleed patched). How has your experience been on 6.1? A follow question for both...did you find that parts of your configuration were not migrated properly (e.g radio settings) into the new code?

We experienced many issues with AP reboots, station disconnects, DHCP issues, and framed-ip-address … this occurred early April. We then learned of Heartbleed on 6.1-03. We downgraded to 5.3-158 which resolved the issues. --Veronica From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Heller, Josh Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2014 1:43 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Meru upgrade to SD 6.1 Gonzalo, Meru SD 6.1-0-3 is affected by the Heartbleed bug. Please upgrade only to 6.1-1-23 or higher which is available by request. 6.1-1-23 also contains combined AP images for support for legacy AP311s which AP 6.1-0-3 does not have. So, I would advise against 6.1-0-3. We were using 5.3-x builds before upgrading to 6.1-1-23, so be sure you get clarification from your local SE (or tech support) to find out if you need to upgrade to 5.3-x before arriving at 6.1-x-x. The 6.1-0-3 Release notes, page 8, indicate that you should be OK going directly from 5.1-x to 6.1-x-x, but please double check. Additionally, version 6.x is not supported on legacy controllers. (MC4100 for example) So be sure you are running current model controllers. (3200,4200, 5000, 6000 etc) If you use EzRF for reporting and other features, you will need to upgrade that server as well.

Meru is encouraging us to upgrade to the "Go-To-Release" code SD 6.1-0-3. We are on SD 5.1-82 with a large deployment of AP 311 and AP320 (about 600 in total). The current code has been the most stable of the all the codes we've had but it's been two years since an upgrade. There are no must have enhancements in the code that will help our operation but there are other features like device fingerprinting and a spectrum manager tool that would be nice to have. My questions... Has anyone currently upgraded to SD 6.1 with AP311 and AP320 in their environment and what has been your experience with it? What was your upgrade process? Did you have to go through an upgrade path to get to 6.1? Any testing? I know the group may not be Meru heavy so we can take this off-list to cut down on the chatter. Thank you all in advance.
