Requirements
This procedure assumes that you have the following resources:
Extreme Networks switch that supports IAH
NetBeez virtual agent image for EXOS (download here)
For the SLX please use the TPVM image and install a NetBeez software agent
NetBeez dashboard
If you don't have an existing installation of NetBeez, you can request a demo here.

Step-by-step installation configuration for EXOS
1. Connect via ssh to your Extreme Networks switch.
2. Change directory to SSD file system:
# cd /usr/local/vm/packages
3. Copy the NetBeez virtual machine image from your scp source:
# scp2 <username>@<host_with_netbeez_vm>:<path_to_image><image_name>
4. Configure the NetBeez virtual agent with 1 cpu and 1024 MB for memory:
# create vm <vmname> <image/ova> <image_name> cpus 1 memory 1024
5. Use mgmt for ports to tie back to out-of-band management EXOS interface or 57/58 (for 48 port multi-rate x465) to tie back to in-band or 33/34 (for 24 port multi-rate x465) you can always run a show port in EXOS to identify which ports are labeled insight ports:
# configure vm <vmname> add ports <ports>
6. Show the NetBeez virtual machine details:
# show vm details
7. Start the NetBeez virtual machine:
# start vm <vmname>
8. Access the Netbeez virtual machine's console (use "CTRL Y" to exit the VM console):
# open vm <vmname> console
9. Log in to the VM by using the default credentials netbeez/netbeez for username/password.
10. By default, the NetBeez virtual machine is configured with DHCP. If the NetBeez virtual machine is attached to a VLAN with DHCP enabled, then skip this step. If you need to configure a static IP address to the machine, then edit the /etc/network/interfaces file
nano /etc/network/interfaces
Find/replace the following line:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
With the following lines (replace where appropriate):
iface eth0 inet static
address <ip_address>
netmask <subnet_mask>
gateway <gateway>
dns-nameservers <dns_server_1> <dns_server_2_if_available>
Save (CTRL X)and exit (Yes).
11. Register the NetBeez virtual machine to the associated dashboard (you will need to use your own secret key provided with your NetBeez dashboard):
netbeez@netbeez-agent~$ curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netbeez/agent-installation/master/agent_setup.sh;netbeez@netbeez-agent~$ sudo bash agent_setup.sh --secret=<netbeez_secret_key>;
12. The agent will now report to the NetBeez dashboard.
