ExtremeWare EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide B-3
The DevCLI Utility
Options such as the user login names and passwords and community strings, applyto all
devices specified in the command. You can specify multiple devices in one command as
long as they use the same options. If you have devices with different access parameters,
you must add or delete them in separate commands. The exception is when removing
devices,youdon’tneedtospecifycommunitystrings,soyoucanremovemultipledevices
in a single command even it their community strings are different.
Most options default to the values equivalent to those used by default on Extreme
Networks devices or in the EPICenter software.
You can specify only one EPICenter server (database) in a command. If you want to add
the same devices to multiple EPICenter databases, you must use a separate command for
each server. The command by default adds or removes devices from the EPICenter
database running on the local host at port 80.
