Activating and Verifying the Switch

Changing the Switch OS via the Startup Menu

Extreme recommends onboarding your switch with ExtremeCloud™. Log in or create your XIQ
administrator account in order to select your switch operating system with XIQ at
extremecloudiq.com.
ExtremeXOS is the default operating system for the 5520 Series. If you take no action during the initial
bootup, you can change the switch OS from the Startup menu on initial activation only by completing
the following steps:
1. Connect to the switch via telnet, SSH, or console with a baud rate of 115200.
2. At the login prompt, log in using the default user name admin.
For example:
login: admin
3. The switch prompts you to choose which switch personality you want to use:
Would you like to change the switch OS to VOSS? [y/N/q]:
To select ExtremeXOS, type N or q.
To select VOSS, type y.
The switch will install VOSS, then reset.
After resetting, your switch will boot with VOSS. See
85 for more.
