Problem: Multiple protocols have the same name.
ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager allows multiple protocols of the same name if one of
the other defining characteristics of one protocol is different from the other.
Problem: Created a new protocol in VLAN Manager, but the protocol does not appear
on any switch.
When a new protocol is created, it is stored in the Enterprise Manager database. The
Enterprise Manager only creates the protocol on a switch when the new protocol is used
by a VLAN on that switch.

Problem: Multiple switches have the same name.
This is because the sysName of those switches is the same. Typically, Extreme Networks
switches are shipped with the names “Summit1,” “Summit2,” “Summit4,” or
“Summit48,” depending on the type of switch. You should change these names to
unique names using the ExtremeWare CLI or ExtremeWare Vista.

Problem: There are multiple QoS profiles with the names QP1, QP2, QP3, or QP4.
Multiple QoS profiles QP1 through QP4 may be displayed in the Add, Delete or Modify
QoS Profile dialog boxes if you have modified the bandwidth parameters for the
profiles on some switches but not on others. The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager
identifies a QoS profile by its name and its definition, and considers these different
because of the different bandwidth definitions.
Problem: A QoS profile that already exists on a switch has changed.
If the user applies a non-existent QoS profile to a VLAN on a switch, then the QoS
profile is created on the switch. If a profile with the specified name exists on the switch,
then that profile is modified to use the new definition.
