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 8.0MSS Version 8.0 contains the following new features:

WLA532E - The WLA532E is a new access point model that supports external antennas.

Adaptive Channel Planner (Auto-Tune Enhancements) — Adaptive Channel Planner (ACP) dynamically assigns the WLA operating channel so that the wireless network can efficiently adapt to the RF environment conditions. Dynamic assignment can be changed when significant changes are measured in the interference level or in the network topology. Eventually, Wi-Fi bandwidth is maximized and maintains the efficiency of communication over the wireless network. Transmit Beam-forming — Transmit beam-forming (TxBF) is a technique that uses an array of transmitting antennas to send radio signals with adjusted magnitude and phase at each antenna to achieve a focused beam target to the receiver. TxBF can increase the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at the receiver and improve performance. This feature is supported on the WLA532,WLA321, and WLA322.

IPv6 Support — In this release of MSS, configuring IPv6 addresses is not supported, but IPv6 clients are supported. You can view IPv6 session information and control IPv6 ACLs using MSS.

Device Fingerprinting (MSS, RingMaster, and SmartPass) - Manage different devices such as iPhones, iPads, and other wireless devices connecting to the wireless network.

Version Compatibility

RingMasterThis version of Mobility System Software (MSS) is intended for use with RingMaster Version 8.0 or higher only.

Minimum MSS Requirements for UpgradeTable 1 lists the minimum MSS version an WLC must be running when you upgrade to MSS Version 8.0. If your WLC is running an older MSS version, you can use the upgrade path to upgrade the WLC to 8.0.

Upgrading to MSS Version 8.0

Before you upgrade, see “Version Compatibility” on page 2. After you verify that the WLC is running the minimum MSS version required to upgrade to MSS Version 8.0, return to this section.

Preparing the MX for the Upgrade

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 software 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 8.0 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 8.0.

Warning:The following MPs are no longer supported in this version of MSS:

MP-71MP-371 (all related models)MP-372 (all related models)

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 8.0. Failure to do so may result in lost configuration data.

Informational Note: MSS 8.0 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.

Informational Note: Mobility Domains and Mixed Versions of MSSWhen deploying a mixed version Mobility Domain, VLAN tunnels between WLCs with MSS 7.1 and WLC800/WLC880s with MSS 8.0 are not supported.

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 5 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/MX080021.800 boot1:MX080021.800You 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

Caution: Create a backup of your WLC files before you upgrade the WLC.Juniper Networks recommends that you save a backup configuration 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.

Informational Note: Virtual Controller Cluster Configuration Recommendation

It is recommended that you install the same version of MSS on all cluster members to have feature parity between the seeds and members. Additionally, it is recommended to use the same WLC models in a cluster configuration.

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.

Page 5: Release Notes for Mobility System Software Version 8.0.1

Release Notes for Mobility System Software Version 8.0.1.2

5 Version Compatibility Copyright © 2014, 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/MX080021.800 boot1:MX080021.800........................................................................................................................................................................................................success: received 10266629 bytes in 92.427seconds [ 111078 bytes/sec]WLC800# set boot partition boot1success: Boot partition set to boot1:MX080021.800 (8.0.0.2).WLC800# show bootConfigured boot version: 8.0.0.2Configured boot image: boot1:MX077021.800Configured boot configuration: file:configurationBackup boot configuration: file:backup.cfgBooted version: 8.0.0.2Booted image: boot1:MX080021.800Booted 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 WLCWLA 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.

Table 2: Licensing and Upgrade Increments for the WLC Models

WLC Model Base WLA Support Maximum WLA Support Upgrade Increment

Release Notes for Mobility System Software Version 8.0.1.2

Known Behaviors and Issues

The following issues are known behaviors and issues in this version of Mobility System Software.

ICMPv6 Router Advertisement ACL does not work on a WLC880 when mapped with the uplink port direction out. [PR800132]

Description — Configuring an IPv6 ICMP ACL on a WLC880 does not work as expected. The ACL should block router advertisements to the WLC880, but the advertisements are not blocked.

Workaround — N/A

Using the L2-Restrict feature with local switching and M2U enabled blocks multicast packets on the wireless network. [PR794378]

Description — Three clients are configured for local switching, L2-restrict, and multicast conversion. Clients 2 and 3 are multicast receivers, yet Client 3 does not received converted unicast traffic as expected.

Workaround — N/A

ACLs configured to block downstream multicast router advertisements do not work when applied to WLAs, Service Profiles, or Users. [PR787988]

Description — Multicast RA packets are not blocked when mapped in the "Out" direction, on Service Profile, User or WLAs.

Workaround — N/A

Configuring a client for WPA and TKIP-AES creates an unstable configuration on the WLC. [731872]

Description — Unicast rekeying does not work for WPA Clients when using an Intel 6300 wireless card and Windows 7. Unicast rekeying is disabled by default on WLCs.

Workaround — Use only WPA2 authentication for wireless clients or disable unicast rekeying on the WLC.

When you attempt to display the status of WLAs in a cluster configurarion, the show ap status cluster command incorrectly displays the number of WLAs in the configuration. [729054]

Description — When you use the show ap status cluster command with more than 4000 WLAs on the network, the show command output does not show all of the WLAs.

Workaround — Using the show cluster ap command displays the correct number of WLAs in the cluster configuration.

When connected to the WLA532, the Intel 5100 Client may appear to send traffic over the network, but no data is actually sent. [PR702722]

12 Changes to Default Behaviors Copyright © 2014, Juniper Networks, Inc.

Description — The Intel 5100 Client is a two stream capable client, but some older versions of the driver causes the client to display three stream connectivity information. This causes the WLA to send unicast traffic downstream to the client, but the client does not support this type of traffic.

Workaround — Upgrade the Intel 5100 client driver to version 14.2.0.10 which resolves this issue.

2.4 GHz video cameras are not detected by WLA522s. [PR670359]

Description — The Spectrum Analysis feature cannot detect 2.4 GHz video cameras as interference on the network.

Workaround — None at this time.

The status of a WLA does not display the correct status after running in spectrogram mode. (68335)

Description — After running a spectrogram and then stopping it, the status shown in the show ap status output does not update to reflect the return to sentry status. The AP is in sentry mode, but the status is displayed incorrectly.

Workaround — Access the CLI and change the radio to enabled mode, and then change to sentry mode.

If a WLA has vlan-tagging enabled, it does not boot in bridging mode. (61935)

Description — The static VLAN tag is not supported in mesh and bridging modes. It is not a valid configuration to enable both at the same time.

Workaround— None at this time.

Changes to Default Behaviors

When WLAs use DHCP Discovery to locate WLCs on the network, the ability to use Option 12 and Option 77, in addition to Option 43, as part of the discovery process is now available.

MSS can now handle five RADIUS class attributes instead of one to support complex AAA transactions.

The transmission power value for WLA522E-WW WLAs is now 13 dBM instead of14 dBM for EU based countries.

Issues Resolved Since MSS 8.0.1.2

Daylight Savings Time settings were displayed incorrectly. [PR825593]

Release Notes for Mobility System Software Version 8.0.1.2

After rebooting and synchronizing the cluster configuration, the WLC became unresponsive on the network. [PR794815]

ARP error messages were incorrectly displayed on a WLC.[PR786894]

Bad error messages were generated in the forwarding port database. [PR778462]

Poor download performance was reported on WLA522 and WLA5332 running MSS 7.6 code. [PR752905]

Clients could not roam from mesh to mesh WLAs. [PR750687]

A RADIUS server was incorrectly reported as inactive on the network. [PR724279]

Cluster configuration was unstable due to IGMP scaling limitations. [PR705667]

No warning messages was displayed when the incorrect crypto types were configured for a 802.11n profile. [691808]

Identical WLA models using the same radio channel, and radio profile, displayed different tx-power limits when autotune was enabled. [PR691013]

If you have an ACL mapped on the user direction IN, clearing the ACL has no effiect on the configuration. [PR683781]

The attribute VLAN is now required when configuring MAC and User groups. [PR670577]

The Web attribute was missing from the login type when configuring CoA for a AAA Profile. [PR656785]

Known Limitations

In an event where a WLC goes down, all the WLAs associated with that WLC, which were earlier connected to primary access manager (PAM) failover to their respective secondary access manager (SAM). The SAM reassignment time is increased to 20 seconds from 3 seconds delay in the failover time.

The mesh configuration works only when the DFS channels are disabled. Similarly, you will be able to enable DFS channels through radio-profile commands only if a WLAN mesh is not configured. Ensure that you disable DFS channels in radio-profile commands if you want to configure a WLAN mesh.

Although 50 active clients are supported per radio, not all of the 50 clients might be able to establish a successful connection. This issue occurs when the TKIP encryption is enabled and when the multicast traffic streams cause high user load.
