Callback Manager

Callback Manager is an ExtremeCloud IQ Controller component that supports the integration of ExtremeCloud IQ Controller and ExtremeGuest. Callback Manager supports a Centralized site deployment only. It can report the following configuration changes to an ExtremeGuest server:

Centralized site configuration changes
AP configuration changes for APs associated with a Centralized site
Network configuration changes for networks that are associated with a Centralized site.

Note

The ExtremeGuest user configures the report requests for each ExtremeGuest server.

Multiple servers are supported, and each server can request a different report.

To report configuration changes:

Callback Manager logs into the registered ExtremeGuest server over a secure http server (https):
Callback Manager receives the ExtremeGuest server request.
Callback Manager posts the requested configuration changes.
ExtremeGuest saves the changes.

Configure the User ID and password that Callback Manager uses to access the ExtremeGuest server on the ExtremeGuest Server Settings page.

If an ExtremeGuest server is unreachable, Callback Manager retries connection every few minutes. After the server is reached, Callback Manager sends the latest configuration changes. In this scenario, changes can be missed while the server is unreachable, but upon connection, the server receives the latest configuration information.

The reporting process is persistent after an ExtremeCloud IQ Controller restart. After the appliance is restarted, Callback Manager continues to report changes that it had yet to report.
