Device Details Configure Supplemental CLI

Before you begin

To use the supplemental CLI tool, first navigate to Global Settings > VIQ Management, and enable Supplemental CLI.

About this task

Use this task to update CLI commands to multiple devices simultaneously from ExtremeCloud IQ. You can save supplemental CLI objects containing CLI commands, and the commands can then be automatically updated for devices each time you update the network policy. On the Device page, 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.

Customers who use CLI to manage features that are not configured in the UI can choose to override the UI (or to override the CLI). This can benefit deployments that rely on overly complex CLI objects.

Procedure

  1. Select the Supplemental CLI object from the list of previously saved Supplemental CLI objects, or select the plus sign to add a new Supplemental CLI object (see Add a Supplemental CLI Object for more configuration information).
  2. Select one of these options:
    • Override Supplemental CLI in the network policy: Enable the network policy to override Supplemental CLI objects for the device.
    • 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. If you select a Supplemental CLI object from the list, or create a new one, it is appended to the end of the configuration list, after the Supplemental CLI object in the network policy.
  3. When you are finished, select Save.
  4. To update the device immediately, select Update Now at the top right.
  5. In the Device Update dialog box, select the type of update, and then select Save as Defaults.
  6. To update the device immediately, select Perform Update.
