A switch discovers ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller by resolving the built-in Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
extremecontrol@<domain-name>
to an IP address. <domain-name>
is the domain
assigned to the switch by the DHCP server.
To configure switch discovery, add a single “A” record
for extremecontrol@<domain-name>
to the local DNS server. If using a public DNS service, add the record to the DNS service.
When using the public option, the DNS servers used by the switch must be integrated with the
public service.
When the switch discovers ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, the device status is initially In-Service-Trouble. This corresponds to the cloud-connector machine state Connecting and is represented in ExtremeCloud IQ Controller as a yellow triangle.
