EQUIREMENTS
Your Summit switch must have 32MB of DRAM in order to support the features in
ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above. This is not an issue for Summit24 and Summit48
switch models, and all currently shipping switches contain 32MB. Some earlier models
of the Summit switch shipped with 16MB, and must be upgraded to support
ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above.
