Options such as the user login names and passwords and community strings, apply to 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, you do not need to specify community
strings, so you can remove multiple devices 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 Ridgeline software.
You can specify only one Ridgeline server (database) in a command. If you want to add the same
devices to multiple Ridgeline databases, you must use a separate command for each server. The
command by default adds or removes devices from the Ridgeline database running on the local host at
port 80.
DevCLI Examples
The following examples illustrate the usage of these commands.
● To add a device with IP address 10.205.0.99 to the Ridgeline database running on server snoopy on
port 81, with Ridgeline login “master” and password “king,” enter the following command:
devcli add -u master -p king -a 10.205.0.99 -s snoopy -n 81
