Below is a really good starting point:

What are you generally troubleshooting in their environment (radius, STP, loops, layer 1, stacks, etc)?

Thanks,

Chris Thompson

They don't how radius/Stack in the envirement, so we do most of the time, Layer1/Layer2 tshoot, STP, trunk ports - anything else you can share repated to these topics

The starting point you provided is good, I'll use to create an internal doc for the team.

Hi Airsail,

Please share your operation and troubleshooting cases here. Maybe I or some one else can help with more details. I have old experience with Extreme Networks switches, standalone and chassis.

Best regards.

I came over from Cisco and had little trouble making the switch. Read existing configuration files to get started, and download the documentation - both Concepts / User guide (name depends on firmware version) and Command Reference. When dealing with older equipment, you have to consider whether newer firmware versions are supported on older hardware. The details are here: https://www.extremenetworks.com/support/compatibility-matrices/sw-release-extremexos-eos/

I would take a look at the Command Line Interface Cross-Reference Guide.

These have a number of commands also in relation with the Cisco commands. You can find it here:

Mrxlazuardin - Thank you, I was looking more something common, so I can have a set of tool to troubleshoot,

The above articles shared by other folks are nice, I\m working now to prepare a sort of KB to refer to when needed,

someone already posted the CLI cross reference guide.

But the support portal is a great resource. Tons of KB's on how to do simple things.

"How to configure LAG"

"How to configure SNMPv3"

"How to create a tagged port"

Its all there,
