Summit x450e-48P - run diagnostics extended command not doing anything but rebooting switch and returning me back to the switch login prompt. When I run sh diagnostics, it shows that the diagnostics passed but back in November of 2012.
While in the console what does it display? Can you paste it here?
Diagnostics is a software based command. It is possible it could be corruption in the diagnostics image or depending on the version it may not have diagnostics. Can you also past the "show version images" output as well?
