Extreme Networks Commands
Extreme Networks EXOS and VOSS CLI commands.
Switch Startup Procedure
Step 1: Power on switchConnect power and boot the switch
Step 2: Wait for bootWait 2-5 minutes for OS to load
Step 3: Verify systemCheck system status after boot

Switch Shutdown Procedure
Step 1: Save configuration (EXOS)Ensure configuration is saved
saveSave configuration
save configuration primarySave to primary config
Step 2: Save configuration (VOSS)Ensure configuration is saved
save configSave configuration
Step 3: Graceful shutdown/rebootReboot or power off the switch
rebootReboot switch
resetReboot switch
boot system reloadReboot system
Step 4: Factory reset (if needed)Reset to factory defaults
unconfigure switch allReset to factory defaults
boot flags factorydefaultsReset to factory defaults on next boot
