Multiple Device Settings
Modify and save, or save and deploy, common configuration parameters for multiple selected devices.
Navigate using the tab icons. Hover over an icon to see the name of the tab.
Manage > Devices > device_name > 
You can edit the configurations for multiple devices at the same time. This is very helpful for networks with large numbers of deployed devices.
From the Manage tab, in the devices list, select the check boxes for all the devices that you want to modify. Then select . In the Modify (Multiple): Device Configuration window, make changes and select Save after each section is completed.
Navigate to Configuration > Device Configuration and then continue with the following sections.
Configure IPv4 Settings
Note
This section applies to APs only.Management VLAN: Enter the number of the management VLAN for management traffic between Extreme Networks devices and ExtremeCloud IQ, and control traffic among hive members. The range is from 1 to 4094.
Native VLAN: The native (untagged) VLAN is the VLAN assigned to frames that do not have any 802.1Q VLAN tags in their headers. By default, Extreme Networks devices also use VLAN 1 as the native VLAN.
Configure the Supplemental CLI Tool
You can configure Supplemental CLI objects and determine whether they are included in a network policy. You have the option to keep the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy and append another Supplemental CLI object to the end of the running configuration list. Select the Supplemental CLI object from the list 
, or select 
to create a new object. Choose from the following options:
[-No Change-]: Leave the supplemental CLI settings for the selected devices unchanged.
Override Supplemental CLI in the network policy: Allow the network policy to override Supplemental CLI objects for the devices.
Keep Supplemental CLI in the network policy and append below at end: Include the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy and append the selected CLI object from the list below. If you select a Supplemental CLI object from the list , or create a new one, it is appended to the end of configuration list, after the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy.
Configure IPv6 Settings
Note
This section applies to APs only.Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC): Select to have the devices use IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol on ICMPv6 router discovery messages.
Stateful Address Autoconfiguration (DHCPv6): Select to have the devices use DHCPv6 to obtain IP addresses, IP prefixes and other configuration data.
Static Address: Select for a static IPv6 address.
Static Address IPv6 Address: Enter the IPv6 address you want the devices to use for the mgt0 interface.
Static Address IPv6 Subnet Prefix Length: Enter 0 through 128 to define the prefix length.
Static Address Auto-format address with unique 64-bit interface identifier (EUI-64): Enable or disable this extended unique identifier function.
Static Address IPv6 Default Gateway: Enter the IP address through which the devices (and their connected hosts) can reach the Internet.
Configure Management and Native VLAN Settings
Note
This section applies to APs only.Management VLAN: Enter the number of the management VLAN for management traffic between Extreme Networks devices and ExtremeCloud IQ, and control traffic among hive members. The range is from 1 to 4094.
Native VLAN: The native (untagged) VLAN is the VLAN assigned to frames that do not have any 802.1Q VLAN tags in their headers. By default, Extreme Networks devices use VLAN 1 as the native VLAN.
Configure the Supplemental CLI Tool
You can configure Supplemental CLI objects and determine whether they are included in a network policy. In the device list, you have the option to keep the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy and append another Supplemental CLI object to the end of the running configuration list. Select the Supplemental CLI object from the list of previously saved Supplemental CLI objects.
[-No Change-]: Leave the supplemental CLI settings for the selected devices unchanged.
Override Supplemental CLI in the network policy: Allow the network policy to override Supplemental CLI objects for the devices.
Keep Supplemental CLI in the network policy and append below at end: Include the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy and append the selected CLI object from the list below. If you select a Supplemental CLI object from the list , or create a new one , it is appended to the end of configuration list, after the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy.
Navigate to Configuration > Interface Settings and then continue with the following sections.
When you have selected multiple APs that share the same SSID policy, you can override the SSID settings for the parameters shared by all the APs. The override applies to the associated SSID policy before it is applied to the access points. If the SSID policy covers both WiFi0 and WiFi1, both radios are modified.
Configure the WiFi0 Wireless Interface
Radio Status: Select the [-No Change-] check box to leave the WiFi0 radio status for the selected devices unchanged. Select ON to allow changes to the WiFi0 radio status for the selected devices.
Operating Mode: When you are configuring multiple software-defined WiFi0 radios, such as those in the AP250 and AP550, you can choose either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. (For the Wifi1 interface, the operating mode is always 5 GHz.)
Radio Mode: The radio mode displays the common 802.11 amendments (and former amendments), such as 802.11g/n, that govern the radio operation.
Radio Profile: Change the radio profile that is assigned to these devices.
Radio Usage: To change the usage, clear the check box for No Change; and then select Client Access for normal client operation, Backhaul Mesh Link for wireless portal and mesh backhaul operation; or select Sensor for presence operation.
Enable SDR (Software Defined Radio): Enable to have the AP dynamically select the radio band.
When you have enabled SDR, use the Select One drop-down list to select an existing SDR profile, select 
to add a new SDR profile, or select an existing SDR profile and then select to edit it.
Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list, or select Auto.
Transmission Power: To change the transmission power setting, select either No-Change, Auto, or Manual.When you select Manual, use the dBm slider to select the maximum transmission power.
Note
SSID settings can only be simultaneously overridden for multiple APs that share the same network policy.SSIDs: When there is no change, select the check box for No Change. When you clear the No Change check box, you have the option to turn SSIDs on or off.
When you are finished, select Save.
Configure WiFi1 Wireless Interface
Radio Status: Select the [-No Change-] check box to leave the WiFi1 radio status for the selected devices unchanged. select ON to allow changes to the WiFi1 radio status for the selected devices.
Radio Mode: The radio mode displays the common 802.11 amendments (and former amendments), such as 802.11ac, that govern the radio operation.
Radio Profile: Change the radio profile that is assigned to these devices.
Radio Usage: To change the usage, clear the check box for No Change; and then select Client Access for normal client operation or Backhaul Mesh Link for wireless portal and mesh backhaul operation; or select Sensor for presence operation.
Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list, or select Auto.
Transmission Power: To change the transmission power setting, select either No-Change, Auto, or Manual.When you select Manual, use the dBm slider to select the maximum transmission power.
Note
SSID settings can only be simultaneously overridden for multiple APs that share the same network policy.SSIDs: When there is no change, select the check box for No Change. When you clear this check box, you have the option to turn SSIDs on or off.
When you are finished, select Save.
Navigate to Configuration > Device Credentials and make the following changes:
Root Administrator: Enter the admin name and password.
Read Only Administrator: Enter the admin name and password.
