ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
608
configure sys-recovery-level
configure sys-recovery-level [all | none]
Description
Configures a recovery option for instances where a software exception occurs in ExtremeWare XOS.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting is
all
.
Usage Guidelines
If the software fails, the switch automatically reboots or leaves the system in its current state. You must
specify one of the following parameters for the system to respond to software failures:
●
all
—The system will send error messages to the syslog and reboot if any software task exception
occurs.
●
none
—No action is taken when a software task exception occurs. The system does not reboot, which
can cause unexpected switch behavior.
NOTE
Use the
none
parameter only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel.
If the system recovery level is
all
, the system always reboots after a software task exception. This is the
default setting and behavior, and Extreme Networks strongly recommends using the default setting.
