Activating and benefiting from ExtremeWorks is designed to be straightforward, with a focus on rapid return to service. The following steps outline a typical path from coverage to operation, while keeping disruption to a minimum:

2) Initiate a service ticket for a fault: When a failure is detected, open a service request with Extreme Networks Support or your authorized service partner. Provide essential details such as device model, serial number, current firmware version, a concise description of the fault, location, and any recent changes to the environment.
3) Diagnosis and approval for replacement: Extreme Networks engineers perform remote diagnostics and confirm whether the issue qualifies under the Advanced Hardware Replacement terms. Once approved, a replacement item or module is prepared for dispatch under the NBD service level if available in your region.
4) Receive and swap the replacement hardware: The replacement hardware arrives according to the NBD schedule. Depending on your deployment model, your team or an on-site technician may perform the hardware swap following manufacturer guidelines and best practices for hardware replacement. Preserve all warranty seals and return any failed components as directed by the service provider.
5) Install, configure, and validate: After installation, update firmware or software if required, migrate configurations, and validate normal operation. Run routine tests to confirm connectivity, performance, and failover behavior, ensuring that the replacement hardware integrates seamlessly with existing network infrastructure.
6) Close the service ticket and review improvements: Once the device is online and stable, the service ticket is closed with confirmation of resolution. Feedback on the replacement process helps improve future service delivery and ensures your team understands any new features or configuration changes introduced during updates.
