Per the ERS 59100 Quick Install Guide, the switch defaults to 192.168.1.1/24
on VLAN 1 if DHCP fails. Method 3 now notes that on a factory/reset switch
you can TFTP without configuring anything via console first.

- Method 3: laptop with console + Ethernet can act as temporary TFTP server
- Method 4: XMODEM over console cable when USB broken and no Ethernet available
- Note 3-hour transfer time warning for XMODEM at 9600 baud

- Document current firmware versions (BOSS 7.9.6.015 / Diag 7.5.0.4)
- Note upgrade rules: one version at a time, diag first, no read-only USB files
- USB method via download command and boot menu option 4
- SFTP and TFTP methods via CLI
- Link to Extreme portal and announcements page for latest version
https://claude.ai/code/session_01JR2EMK7rwrZJowpstcaxQ6
- Add boot menu contents (options 1-9, A-C) with explanation of each
- Method 1: boot menu option 5 (works without knowing password)
- Method 2: CLI method (requires working login)
- Note 60-second window and how to continue normal boot if entered by accident
https://claude.ai/code/session_01JR2EMK7rwrZJowpstcaxQ6
- Document BOSS v7.9.6 as the switch firmware in Requirements section
- Add factory reset procedure (boot config flags factory) to Troubleshooting
- Note when a wipe is and is not necessary
https://claude.ai/code/session_01JR2EMK7rwrZJowpstcaxQ6
- Fix save command: copy running-config nvram:config.cfg -> save config
- Fix port format note: remove incorrect 1/1 slot prefix, both models use bare numbers
- Add note explaining why 192.168.1.1 conflict is not a problem (management VLAN 99 is separate subnet)
- Add console commands to change VLAN 1 IP if needed before VLAN 99 is configured

Documents the full first-time hardware setup flow:
- Where the console/service port is on the 59100 and 5952 front panel
- What console cable to buy and how to connect it
- What the Ctrl-Y boot screen means (don't press it, just wait)
- Default login credentials
- Bootstrap VLAN 99 commands including 59100 port numbering (1/1 format)
- Management computer static IP setup
- Consolidates and removes duplicate console/bootstrap sections

Features added:
- Port 53 conflict resolution: auto-detect/fix systemd-resolved stub listener
on Linux; instructions for OPNsense Unbound (ctrld auto-terminates it)
- DNS enforcement ACLs: generate ERS 5952 ACL commands that permit DNS only
to ctrld IP and block all other port 53/853 traffic per VLAN
- Inter-VLAN routing ACL templates: Staff, IoT, Guest, Camera profiles with
live preview and parameter inputs (ctrld IP, NVR IP, subnet)
- Local hostname resolution: dnsmasq Docker service for .lan split-horizon DNS;
manage hostname→IP mappings via UI; generates dnsmasq.conf and ctrld.toml
upstream.local block
- Fix ctrld.toml format: correct [listener.0], [network.N], [upstream.N] table
notation (was using wrong [[array]] notation); matches official docs format
- Backend docstrings: added docstrings to all previously undocumented functions
- README: new sections for port 53 conflict resolution, DNS enforcement ACLs,
ACL templates, and local hostname resolution (dnsmasq)
- Fix Python 3.11 f-string syntax errors in Avaya_5952_setup.py (backslash
in f-string expressions, same-type quote in dict access); embed now succeeds
