Also Yes the tech-support collector allows for information to be sent to GTAC in a proactive way.
Here are the details from the XOS user Guide
"Proactive tech support functionality allows you to collect system information when support is required."
"System information is pushed into a cloud-hosted collector where the Extreme TAC can use it to identify problems to provide solutions. Proactive Tech Support provides the following functionality:"
"ā¢ Proactive tech support is implemented as a loadable application, called techSupport.xmod. The XMOD is bundled with EXOS image packages, but can also be upgraded independently at any time without restarting the switch."
"ā¢ Proactive tech support allows the switch to proactively collect switch status and send the status report to up to four cloud-hosted collectors."
"ā¢ Proactive tech support allows both automatic and manual status report."
"ā¢ Proactive tech support allows each collector to have different report data set, report frequency, or report mode. A default collector is configured automatically to minimize the configuration required"
"to enable the feature."
Hope that helps
