Use the Deployment Prerequisite Tool
An administrator can download and run a prerequisite tool to
verify that installation requirements have been met before installing cloud-managed access
points and switches at a site. The tool checks requirements specific to ExtremeCloud and performs tasks
such as making REST API calls to your REST servers, looking up your FQDNs in DNS, and
verifying that your Amazon S3 connection is enabled.
This tool is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X
devices.
To download and use the prerequisite tool:
-
Locate your contract number and Welcome
letter. Keep these on hand as you will need to enter this information to use the
tool.
-
Log on to the machine that is on the
same subnet that your access points (APs) are deployed on. You will need to run the
executable file on this same subnet.
-
Download the zip file
(ezcloud_prerequisite_validation_tool.zip), which contains the tool in the form of binary
executable files, a Readme, and a license file. The link to download the zip file is
available from the following locations:
- On the ExtremeCloud login screen
in the bottom right corner.
- From the drop-down list located on
the top right corner of the user interface, under your user name.
-
Run the binary executable file that is
suitable for your operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X).
The tool checks the local machine
and a summary report is returned. All of the items on the list must pass the test in order
to deploy the product. If any item fails, fix it and then repeat this procedure until
everything passes. Then proceed with deployment of your devices.
