Extreme Networks Policy Manager (EPM) 1.2 User Guide

● The switch must be running ExtremeXOS
™
11.4 or later.
● The EPM requires a Secure Shell (SSH) module installed and running on the switch to manage policy
file transfer. The default state of SSH is “disabled”, so ensure that this application has been enabled
using the
enable ssh2 command.
To load and run the SSH module on a switch, use the following commands:
a Download image
<ip> <yy>-xxx-ssh.xmod primary
where “yy” is the switch type and “xxx” is the release number
For example,
download image 10.1.1.1 bd10k-11.4.4.7-ssh.xmod primary
b run update
c enable ssh2
d enable clear-flow (for CLEAR-Flow supported switches)
For additional information, refer to the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide and the ExtremeXOS
Concepts Guide.
● A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server must be installed and running prior to loading or
saving policy files using the EPM. The server is required to transfer policy files to and from switches.
Install an external TFTP server on port 69 and set the EPM’s policy staging directory to the TFTP
server’s root. Set the staging directory after the EPM is installed. (Refer to “Configuring the EPM for
use on a Switch” on page 18 for information on setting the staging directory and other configuration
procedures.)
● Ensure that the EPM user has read/write permission to the installation directory and the TFTP
directory.
