This HowTo works with an AIR-TC-2504-K9 and probably with all other models from this series.

* You have to have the IOS image (e.g. <code>AIR-CT2500-K9-7-6-110-0.aes</code>) ready on a TFTP server in your local network.
* Connect to the controller's serial console port.
* Connect the controller's network port #1 to a switch in your local network.
* If the controller is new/unconfigured, you have to finish the basic setup wizard first (mainly to get network connectivity) via the serial console:
** Hostname: <code>airtemp</code>
** Administratirve user name: <code>admin</code>
** Password: <code>Cisco123</code>
** Enable LAG: <code>NO</code>
** Management interface IP address: <code>192.168.1.241</code>
** Management interface netmask: <code>255.255.255.0</code>
** Management interface default router: <code>192.168.1.254</code>
** Management interface VLAN ID: <code>0</code> (or just hit ENTER without putting anything)
** Management interface port number: <code>1</code>
** Management interface DHCP server: <code>192.168.0.10</code>
** Virtual gateway IP address: <code>192.168.50.241</code>
** Multicast IP address: <code>239.0.0.1</code>
** Mobility/RF group name: <code>grouptemp</code>
** Network name SSID: <code>ssidtemp</code>
** DHCP bridging: <code>NO</code>
** Allow static IP addresses: <code>YES</code>
** Configure RADIUS server: <code>NO</code>
** Country code list: <code>US</code>
** Enable network 802.11b: <code>NO</code>
** Enable network 802.11a: <code>NO</code>
** Enable Auto-RF: <code>NO</code>
** Configure NTP server: <code>NO</code>
** Configure system time: <code>NO</code>
** Configureation correct? → <code>YES</code> → Controller reboots now.
* After reboot, login to the controller on the serial console using username <code>admin</code> and password <code>Cisco123</code>.
* Try to ping your TFTP server's IP address: <code>ping 192.168.1.11</code>. If it doesn't work, fix your network config.
* Type <code>show sysinfo</code> to verify the firmware version the controller is running.
* Type the following commands to initiate the upgrade procedure via TFTP:
** <code>transfer download datatype code</code>
** <code>transfer download mode tftp</code>
** <code>transfer download serverip 192.168.1.11</code>
** <code>transfer download path .</code>
** <code>transfer download filename AIR-WLC4400-K9-5-2-178-0.aes</code>
** <code>transfer download start</code>
** Wait for the download and system upgrade procedure to finish. This can take some time (at least 10 mins)
* When the upgrade procedure has finished (you should see the message <code>Reboot the switch for update to complete.</code>), type <code>reset system</code> to reboot the controller. When asked if you want to save the changed config, answer <code>YES</code>.
* Optional: When the controller is back up again, type <code>Recover-Config</code> at the username prompt to reset the switch to factory defaults.
