Configure Supplemental CLI

To use the supplemental CLI (sCLI) tool, first go to Global Settings > VIQ Management, and enable Supplemental CLI.

After you save supplemental CLI objects containing CLI commands, you can update the commands for devices automatically, each time you update the network policy.

To avoid an unnecessary system reboot, select Delta Configuration Update. ExtremeCloud IQ attempts to update only the configuration deltas. If a full update is required, the system prompts you to select Complete Configuration Update. Examples of CLI commands that require a full configuration update are: system antenna-type and system environment.

Use this task to configure supplemental CLI (sCLI) objects.

  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Basic > Supplemental CLI Objects.
  2. Select an existing Supplemental CLI object,and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. Type a Name.
  4. Optional: Type an optional Description.

    Although optional, descriptions can be helpful when you are troubleshooting your network.

  5. Type or paste the CLI commands into the field.
    • Enter multiple CLI commands, one command per line, not exceeding a maximum total of 8192 characters.
    • Use CLI Commands that contain IP and VLAN objects: ${ip:ip_object_name} and ${vlan:vlan_object_name}.
    • Perform a complete configuration update each time commands are appended to device configurations.
    • For Dell EMC switches, enter the CLI commands, enable, and config in the beginning of a sequence of CLI commands.
  6. Select SAVE.
