This feature addresses network management requirements identified for the Ridgeline product. The following enhancements are part of this release:

• Issue a notification to NMS upon completion of a database save operation.
• Provide the ability for EXOS to report on demand the presence of unsaved configuration changes on the system.
• Issue a notification whenever any system configuration is altered, added, or deleted.
• Provide the ability for NMS to download an image file to an EXOS device. MIB objects reflecting time of next scheduled reboot.

A configuration management MIB, EXTREME-CFGMGMT-MIB, is introduced to help facilitate this functionality. The ability to query configuration activity and to perform switch management operations can be done by using the tables, scalars, and traps supported in the configure management, and the system (EXTREME-SYSTEM-MIB) MIBs.
