Feedback and Support

Juniper Networks encourages you to provide feedback about your experiences installing and using the product to the

Juniper Networks Customer Assistance Center (TAC).

What’s New in MSS Version 7.7

MSS Version 7.7 contains the following new features:

Support for the WLA321 and WLA322 — low cost solutions for wireless access points on your network.

VLAN Pooling - VLAN Pooling is a new feature that allows you to associate "equivalent" VLANs to a service which

then improves scalability and reduces broadcast domains across VLANs. Multiple VLANs can be grouped to form a

VLAN Pool and all VLANs in the VLAN Pool are available at any time in a location. VLAN assignment is performed

dynamically when a wireless client accesses the network and a VLAN is assigned to the wireless client.

WAN Outage Enhancements including WIDS Logging — When the WAN link between the main site and a remote

site goes down, communication between the WLC and the WLA is interrupted. The WLC and the WLA determine that

the other is unreachable over the network.

When this outage occurs, the WLA now accepts new client requests in the remote branch and now supports some of

the functionality previously supported on the controller. Clients can also roam between WLAs at the remote site.

With this feature, the following functionality is supported:

− WLAs are assigned a site name to designate the grouping at the remote site.

− Backup SSIDs can be defined and sent automatically to the radio profiles on the WLA.

− All WLAs at the remote site are configured with a common VLAN profile.

− WLAs can be assigned a different country code from the WLC country code.

− Local switching is automatically enabled when an outage occurs on the network. This allows direct packet

forwarding to local VLANs.

The following is a list of features not supported on WLAs configured in WAN Outage mode:

− WLAs do not provide DHCP services.

− WEP is not supported.

− CAC is not supported and CAC validity and enforcement are not applied.

− More than 100 WLAs are not supported.

− Over 25 clients on a backup SSID is not supported.

− Mesh and Auto AP features are not supported.

Support for High Latency Networks — When discussing network speed, bandwidth and latency are two elements

that affect network speed. Latency refers to delays typically encountered when process network data. A low latency

network connection is one that has small delay times, while a high latency network typically encounters long delays.

− When a wireless client attempts to connect and maintain a connection to a WLA with a WLC located in a high

latency network, the client association fails on the network. This may happen for two reasons:

− a)The wireless client waits for a response from the WLA. Because the WLA forwards the requests to the WLC,

the client may time out due to the large round trip delay between the WLA and WLC.

3 Version Compatibility Copyright © 2013, Juniper Networks, Inc.

− b)The WLC waits for a response from the client. Because the roundtrip delay is large, the WLC may time out

before the response is returned to the client.

− To resolve this issue, a new feature, high latency mode, allows you to configure attributes that can mitigate the

association problems on a high latency network.

Enhanced Statistics and Counters for Mobility Domains — Mobility Domain configurations depend on sending

fast keepalive messages between the cluster seed and secondary seed as well as the seed and each of the MoDo

members. Fast keepalives are UDP packets with source and destination ports of 8821 which is the same port as the

TCP port number for the mobility domain TCP connections.

WLA Network Resiliency Roaming History Enhancements — When the network is configured for the network

resiliency feature, WLAs boot up on the network and then send the WLC request that is sent to the seed. The seed

selects a Primary Access Manager (PAM) and a Secondary Access Manager (SAM) for a booting WLA. Over a period

of time, the WLA can move to different WLCs on the network for various reasons, including the following:

− Connectivity - losing contact with the PAM or SAM, and if the WLA loses both, the WLA reboots.

− Configuration - changing the Mobility Domain affinity attribute can trigger the WLA to move to a preferred

controller. Changing the data path encryption (DPE) attribute can also trigger the WLA to move to another

controller.

− Load balancing - when member WLCs are removed or added to the network, the seed may move WLAs to other

active member WLCs.

− The seed keeps track of all WLAs active on the MoDo. The data includes the PAM, SAM, WLA IP address, and

other information that is shared with the secondary seed.

Multicast to Unicast Traffic Conversion - Media applications require reliable support for media transmissions on the

wireless network. Applications and products such as security and surveillance use "TV-like" video distribution on the

wireless network and require reliable support for quality content delivery.

Multicast transmission is unreliable due to the absence of feedback mechanism in the IEEE 8002.11 MAC protocol.

Broadcast can be undesirable in some situations such as wireless phones in sleep mode may wake up when a

broadcast packet is received.

This feature uses the multicast to unicast conversion of video content and performs additional optimizations such as

prioritization of video traffic, bandwidth reservation, and load optimization on the WLA to ensure reliable delivery of

video content.

Configurable IP Address for Sending SNMP Traps — Currently, the SNMP configuration on a network uses the

WLC IP address to send SNMP traps. In some implementations, it may be desirable to send SNMP traps from a

different IPv4 address.

Version Compatibility

RingMaster

This version of Mobility System Software (MSS) is intended for use with RingMaster Version 7.7 or higher only.

Minimum MSS Requirements for Upgrade

Table 1 lists the minimum MSS version an WLC must be running when you upgrade to MSS Version 7.7. If your WLC is

running an older MSS version, you can use the upgrade path to upgrade the WLC to 7.7.

Table 1: Software Requirements for Upgrade to MSS Version 7.7

Software versions on the Juniper Support Site

When you go to the Software downloads page at http://www.juniper.net/support/products/mss/#sw to

download new software versions, you should note that there are two different files for each WLC/MX platform. The

software files labeled with the MX0XXXX.platform.zip are intended for the legacy platforms sold by Trapeze

Networks. These controllers have the Trapeze logo and platform name on the front. The

WLC0XXXXX.platform.zip software files are intended for the Juniper-branded platforms. These controllers display

the Juniper logo and platform name on the front.

WARNING! The two file types are not interchangeable between Trapeze-branded and Juniper-branded platforms.

You must install the MX file version on Trapeze products, and the WLC file version on Juniper products.

Warning: This release of MSS no longer supports older MXR-2, MX-8, and MX-8R WLAN controller platforms

that were initially built with 32MB of flash. Newer models support 128MB or 256MB. The best method for

determining if your controller can support MSS 7.7 is by checking the revision label on the unit:

Models MX-8 and MX-8R controller - Revision "P" and above

Model MXR-2 controller - Revision "N" and above

All Juniper-branded equivalents will support MSS 7.7.

VLAN IDs higher than 3520

Informational Note: To avoid conflicts with the Juniper internal VLAN numbering scheme, it is strongly

advised to use VLAN IDs less then 3520 on WLCs that are upgrading to MSS Version 7.7. Failure to do so

may result in lost configuration data.

Informational Note: MSS 7.7 includes changes to the storage location of system debug files. Debug

information is now stored in persistent user-accessible storage for retrieval after a system restart.

You can use the following command to back up the configuration files:

backup system [tftp:/ip-addr/]filename [all | critical]To restore an WLC that is backed up, use the following command:

restore system [tftp:/ip-addr/]filename [all | critical]

“Upgrade Scenario” on page 6 shows an example of the backup command. For more information about these commands,

see the “Backing Up and Restoring the System” section in the “Managing System Files” chapter of the Juniper Networks

Mobility System Software User’s Guide.

Upgrading an Individual WLC Using the CLI

1. Back up the WLC, using the backup system command.

2. Copy the new system image onto a TFTP server.

For example, log into http://www.juniper.net/support/downloads/ using a Web browser on your TFTP server and

download the image onto the server.

3. Copy the new system image file from the TFTP server into a boot partition in the nonvolatile storage of the WLC. For

example,

WLC800# copy tftp://10.1.1.107/MX077021.800 boot1:MX077021.800

You can copy the image file only into the boot partition that was not used for the most recent restart. For example, if the

currently running image was booted from partition 0, you can copy the new image only into partition 1.

4. Set the boot partition to the one with the upgrade image for the next restart.

5. To verify that the new image file is installed, type show boot.

6. Reboot the software.

To restart a WLC and reboot the software, type the following command:

reset system

Informational Note: Mobility Domains and Mixed Versions of MSS

When deploying a mixed version Mobility Domain, VLAN tunnels between WLCs with MSS 7.1 and

WLC800/WLC880s with MSS 7.7 are not supported.

Caution: Create a backup of your WLC files before you upgrade the WLC.

Juniper Networks recommends that you make a backup of the WLC, before you install the upgrade. If an error

occurs during the upgrade, you can restore your WLC to a previous configuration.

Informational Note: When saving the backup file, MSS copies the file to a temporary location to compare it

against an existing file for any errors that may have been introduced during the copying process. After verifying

that the file is error-free, MSS deletes the file from the temporary location.

Caution: If you have made configuration changes but have not saved the changes, use the save config

command to save the changes, before you backup the WLC.

6 Installing Upgrade Activation Keys on an WLC Copyright © 2013, Juniper Networks, Inc.

When you restart the WLC, the WLC boots using the new MSS image. The WLC also sends the WLA version of the new boot

image to WLAs and restarts the WLAs. After an WLA restarts, the version of the new WLA boot image is checked to make

sure the version is newer than the version currently installed on the WLA. If the version is newer, the WLA completes

installation of the new boot image by copying the boot image into the WLA flash memory, which takes about 30 seconds, then

restarts again. The upgrade of the WLA is complete after the second restart.

Upgrade Scenario

To upgrade an WLC800, use the following upgrade example.

WLC800# save configsuccess: configuration saved.WLC800# backup system tftp:/10.1.1.107/sysa_baksuccess: sent 28263 bytes in 0.324 seconds [ 87231 bytes/sec]WLC800# copy tftp://10.1.1.107/MX077021.800 boot1:MX077021.800........................................................................................................................................................................................................success: received 10266629 bytes in 92.427seconds [ 111078 bytes/sec]WLC800# set boot partition boot1success: Boot partition set to boot1:MX077021.800 (7.7.0.2).WLC800# show bootConfigured boot version: 7.7.0.2Configured boot image: boot1:MX075421.800Configured boot configuration: file:configurationBackup boot configuration: file:backup.cfgBooted version: 7.7.0.2Booted image: boot1:MX077021.800Booted configuration: file:configurationProduct model: WLCWLC800# reset system ...... rebooting ......

When saving the backup file, MSS copies the file to a temporary location to compare it against an existing file for any errors

that may have been introduced during the copying process. After verifying that the file is error-free, MSS deletes the file from

the temporary location.

Installing Upgrade Activation Keys on an WLC

WLA licensing is supported on WLC platforms as shown in Table 2:

Caution: This example copies the image file into boot partition 1. On your WLC, copy the image file into the

boot partition that was not used the last time the WLC was restarted. For example, if the WLC booted from

boot partition 1, copy the new image into boot partition 0. To see boot partition information, type the show

boot command.
