Selecting ExtremeNetworks.com Updates in the left panel of the Options tab provides the following view, where you can configure options for accessing the ExtremeNetworks.com website to obtain information about the latest ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine product releases and Extreme Networks firmware releases available for download. These settings apply to all users. You must be a member of an authorization group that includes the "Request and Configure ExtremeNetworks.com Support" capability in order to configure these options.
Changing a value from the system default causes a Default Value button to appear. Selecting this button changes the field back to the system default value.
- HTTP Proxy Server
- If your
network is protected by a firewall, select the Enable Proxy Server checkbox and enter your proxy server
address and port ID. Consult your network administrator for this
information. If your proxy server requires authentication, select the Proxy
Authentication checkbox and enter the proxy username and password
credentials. The credentials you add here must match the credentials
configured on the proxy server. Proxy credentials are cached when used
successfully. If you change them here, restart
the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine Server to clear the old credentials from the cache.
NOTE: The update procedure uses these proxy settings only when necessary; otherwise, the settings are ignored.
