3. Configure SP (Service Port)
?
Service Port is used exclusively for Out-of-Band management. It is the only port that is active when the controller is in boot mode (useful for troubleshooting). The service port does not support 802.1Q tagging so you must configure the switch port on the other side in access mode. It does not support a backup port and a default gateway in its configuration. This last fact means that you can reach it only if you are on the same subnet (as it will not have a route back) unless you configure static routes in the menu Controller -> Network Routes.
***The service port and the management interface must be on a different subnet.The service port is also not auto-sensing so you must use the correct straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to communicate with the service port

The management interface is the default interface for in-band management of the controller and connectivity to enterprise services such as AAA servers. It is also used for communications between the controller and access points. The management interface has the only consistently “pingable” in-band interface IP address on the controller.?
After connecting SP (Service Port) within your laptop network, you will be able to browse the web page of your WLC.
?
RP port is Redundancy Port.?After the WLCs are configured with Redundancy Management and Peer Redundancy Management IP Addresses and Redundant Units are configured, it is time to enable SSO. It is important to make sure that physical connections are up between both the controllers (that is, both the WLCs are connected back to back via the Redundant Port using an Ethernet cable) and the uplink is also connected to the infrastructure switch and the gateway is reachable from both the WLCs before SSO is enabled. Once SSO is enabled, it will reboot the WLCs. While it boots, the WLCs negotiate the HA role as per the configuration via Redundant Port. If the WLCs cannot reach each other via Redundant Port or via the Redundant Management Interface, the WLC configured as Secondary may go in to Maintenance Mode.
5. Upgrade 5508 IOS
Once the WLC is upgraded, it must be rebooted for the changes to take effect. Within this time, connectivity to the WLC is lost. LAPs registered to a WLC lose their association to the WLC, so service to the wireless clients is interrupted. When you upgrade the controller’s software, the software on the controller’s associated access points is also automatically upgraded.
When an access point loads software, each of its LEDs blinks in succession. Up to 10 access points can be concurrently upgraded from the controller. Do not power down the controller or any access point during this process; otherwise, you might corrupt the software image.
Cisco WLC 5508 has latest recommended version 8.0.133.0 from?this url. I was able to get?AIR-CT5500-K9-8-0-121-0.aes from?Baidu Cloud. The size is about 165Mb.?
Note: latest suggested version is 8.0.140 from Cisco download software website.?
?
There are more details regarding upgrading 5508 IOS to latest one from CCIEROO.COM’s?post. You will just need?a TFTP server on your network that is reachable from the management IP address of the WLC.
It will only take a couple of minutes to download 8.0.121.0 package from TFTP server to WLC controller based on your connection speed, but for WLC5508 to process new IOS package it took almost 20 minutes.
Until 5508 completed processing new 8.0.121 IOS, you will see the Primary Image will change to 8.0.121.0 from Config Boot page.
Note: download software from?8.0.140 and 8.2.150
