show switch and
show version commands.
4 Check the log for configuration errors. Manually enter configurations that did not load.
5 If you configured Random Early Drop Probability in ExtremeWare 6.1.8 (or earlier), re-configure the
Random Early Drop Probability using the
configure red drop-probability command.

Upgrade to ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56
If you are running ExtremeWare 6.1.9 to ExtremeWare 6.2.2b43, upgrade to ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 (you

NOTE
ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 (and later) stores 75 static log entries. Previous versions stored 100 entries.
To accommodate the new entry limit, ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 clears the static log after your first
reboot. To preserve your static log entries, use the
show log command and save the output.
