Upgrading Ridgeline to a Service Pack Release
Occasionally, Extreme Networks may release updates to the current Ridgeline release as service packs.
Service packs are minor releases that provide fixes for known problems from previous releases.
A service pack is released as a patch that integrates the service pack fixes into an existing base
Ridgeline software installation. If you already have the Ridgeline software installed on your system
when a service pack is released, you can add the service pack fixes by installing the patch release. For
installation instructions, see Installing a Service Pack Release.
If the service pack that you want to install is for a different base release than the one currently installed
on your system, first install the correct base release, and then install the service pack patch.
