<div>
I'm not specifically familiar with Cisco WLCs, however on Cisco switches, firewalls and routers, the OS image is located in flash. &nbsp;At CLI, try:<br />
<br />
dir disk0:<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
dir flash:<br />
<br />
See if the image is there on one of your working 7.6 WLCs. &nbsp;If so, then try tftp or ftp to get that file.
</div>


<div>
I meant to try this today and got onto something else. Many there's copy flash: t<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: or copy flash: s<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: command on there. ?? <br />
<br />
Trying to sftp to the WLC from my desktop with WinSCP was a no-go.
</div>


<div>
There appears to be a transfer command. The closest thing to a show flash is:<br />
<br />
(Cisco Controller) &gt;test &nbsp; system dir /mnt &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
drwxrwxrwt &nbsp; &nbsp;5 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;100 Apr &nbsp;4 17:50 ap_bundle<br />
drwxr-xr-x &nbsp; &nbsp;9 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4096 Apr &nbsp;4 17:51 application<br />
drwxr-xr-x &nbsp; &nbsp;2 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4096 Apr &nbsp;3 01:06 bootsys<br />
drwxr-xr-x &nbsp; &nbsp;2 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;0 Apr &nbsp;4 17:50 core<br />
drwxr-xr-x &nbsp; &nbsp;2 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;0 Jan &nbsp;1 &nbsp;1970 download<br />
drwxr-xr-x &nbsp; &nbsp;5 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4096 Apr &nbsp;4 17:47 images<br />
<br />
But going into each of those directories I don't see any .AES file. Any other idea where it m ight be hiding?
</div>


<div>
I found the directory but it looks like the file on the WLC is stored in several files. I recall that when upgrading the WLC that there was an unpacking process. Looks like this is the result of that operation...<br />

Once you've SSH'd in there, go to an enable prompt and then try the dir command. &nbsp;It should be in the root of the flash: or disk: object.

Hmmm - so this is what I see when I try to enable..<br />

I want to downgrade a Cisco 2504 WLC from 8.3 to 7.6. I believe this needs to be done in two steps. <br />
<br />
First downgrade to 8.0. This was successful.<br />
<br />
But now I see that 7.6 code is no longer available for download from Cisco due to some bug in that train. Yet 7.6 is running on some of my active WLCs. <br />
Is there a way I can obtain the 7.6 from one of my active WLCs and put it onto an sftp server? If I go to Commands/Upload file - the file type in the dropdown<br />
are: Config, logs, crash file, debug file and a bung of other things. Everything except the .aes code that I want to obtain for my lab device.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions? I tried using WinSCP to sftp or scp to the WLC in hopes of grabbing the code that way. But no luck.

Downloading the .AES code from a Cisco WLC 2504 - possible?

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless Controller

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
