Configuration Deployment to Running

Release Notes

Configuration commands shuffled and reformatted during deployment

After you deploy a configuration, it is common for Extreme devices to shuffle or change the format of commands in the configuration file. Afterwards, it appears that numerous lines were added, removed or modified when comparing configurations. You must inspect the configuration manually to determine which commands were moved and which were actually changed by the deploy task.

Ensure two blank lines follow banner when deploying configuration

Extreme devices support multi-line banners. Two blank lines following a banner definition indicate that the banner is complete. If there are less than two blank lines following the banner, the Extreme will interpret the remainder of the configuration as part of the banner. It is important to ensure that these blank lines are always in the correct place, and not to insert in-line comments in a manner that might disrupt this.

Password Management

Release Notes

Changing user name via Password Management will delete previous account

The limited access username and password in Password Mangement relate to a "user" account on Extreme devices. Similarly the full access username and password relate to an "admin" account. If you change the name of either of these accounts, the existing account will be deleted to ensure that old usernames do not remain on the device as a "back door".

Extreme Summit maintains default community strings unless explicitly overridden

The Extreme Summit will always default to a read-only community string of "public" and a read/write community string of "private". These values will always be accepted by the device unless you explicitly define other values for the read-only and read/write community strings. If you delete your community string values, the defaults will automatically be restored.

ICMP Test

Release Notes

Ping results vary in number of attempts

Extreme devices run the ping test until manually cancelled. NAS handles this by initiating the ping test, waiting five seconds, then interrupting the test and capturing the results. A typical ping test will therefore show the results of between two and eight cycles.

Modules and Inventory

Release Notes

Extreme Summit 200 and 400 series do not support hardware information diagnostic

The Extreme Summit 200 and 400 series devices do not support the commands used by the hardware information diagnostic, and attempts to run this diagnostic against these devices will result in a failure.
