Preface

This Preface provides an overview of this guide, describes guide conventions, and lists other

Introduction

This guide describes how to use the ExtremeWare hardware diagnostics suite to test and validate the
operating integrity of Extreme Networks switches. The tools in the diagnostic suite are used to detect,
isolate, and treat faults in a system.
This guide is intended for use by network designers, planners, and operations staff.

Terminology

When features, functionality, or operation is specific to a modular or stand-alone switch family, the
family name is used. Explanations about features and operations that are the same across all product
families simply refer to the product as the "switch."
