Debug bundles are JSON files that provide predefined modules to common problems that can be executed when an issue occurs. You can search for a bundle that best matches your issue, and then execute that relevant bundle that matches your problem. For a list of bundles, use the command show tech-support help, or view information about this feature in the Troubleshooting chapter in the ExtremeXOS 32.2 User Guide .
