For more information about adding switches, see the ExtremeCloud IQ Switch Deployment Guide.
Use this task to add devices using Advanced Onboarding.
Note
To onboard a Universal Hardware Switch, for the Device OS, choose Switch Engine or Fabric Engine.Your .csv file must have at least one field containing serial numbers. Add a second field for the model numbers of the devices. For example:
Serial Number :
01221234567890
01221234567891
01221234567892
Serial Number, and Model Number:
01221234567894, AP3000
01221234567895, AP410
01221234567896, AP5050
Note
Avoid using spread sheet applications such as Excel to create or modify a .csv file. Excel formats serial numbers that contain preceding zeros incorrectly. Many applications interpret the serial number as a numeric value, which can cause the preceding zeros to be lost and the value to be represented in scientific notation, requiring you to use special functions or convert the cell content type. Instead, use a text editor that does not format the contents.
