Upgrading Controller Software
Follow these steps to upgrade the controller software using the CLI.
Note You can also update the controller software using the GUI or through a wireless connection. However, in these cases, you will lose your connection to the controller sometime during the update process. For this reason, Cisco recommends that you use a direct CLI console port connection to update controller software.
Step 1 Make sure you have a TFTP server available for the Operating System software download. Keep these guidelines in mind when setting up a TFTP server:
•If you are downloading through the Service port, the TFTP server must be on the same subnet as the service port, because the service port is not routable.
•If you are downloading through the DS (Distribution System) network port, the TFTP server can be on the same or a different subnet, because the DS port is routable.
•The TFTP server cannot run on the same computer as WCS because WCS and the TFTP server use the same communication port.
Step 2 Download the desired Operating System software update file from the Cisco website to the default directory on your TFTP server.
Step 3 Log into the controller CLI.
Step 4 Enter ping
