Extreme recommends onboarding your
switch with
ExtremeCloud™. Log in or create your XIQ administrator account in order to
select your switch operating system with XIQ at
https://extremecloudiq.com.
Switch Engine
is the default operating system for the 5520 Series. If you take no action during
the initial bootup, you can change the switch OS from the Startup menu on initial
activation only by completing the following steps:
-
Connect to the switch via
telnet, SSH, or console with a baud rate of 115200.
-
At the login prompt, log in
using the default user name admin.
For example:
login:
admin
Note
For the initial password,
simply press
[Enter].
-
The switch prompts you to choose which switch personality you want to
use:
This switch can alternatively run the Fabric Engine Network Operating System.
If you answer yes, all data including configurations, logs and debugs will be
cleared, except for the license activation status,
Fabric Engine will be installed, and Switch Engine will be removed.
Would you like to change the switch OS to Fabric Engine? [y/N/q]:
The switch will install Fabric Engine, then
reset.
After resetting, your switch will boot with Fabric Engine. See Log In for the First Time on Fabric Engine for more.
