About Actions

Actions let you perform a number of functions for a device. Depending on the device type selected, the Actions drop-down list presents multiple options; for example, you can reboot, assign a country code or location, assign a network policy, create a bootstrap configuration, clone a device, or issue CLI commands to devices through ExtremeCloud IQ. Select the check boxes for the device or devices on which you want to perform actions, and then select Actions.

Note

Not all actions are available for all device types.

• Assign Network Policy: Assign an existing network policy to the device or devices.
• Assign Location: Assign a location from your network maps to the device.
  

  Note

  For devices managed by ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine the location is read-only. You can assign the location in ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine.

• Reboot: Reboot devices after uploading a configuration. Rebooting momentarily disconnects any associated clients from the SSID, which could be disruptive.
• Assign Country Code: Select a country code for a managed device from the drop-down list. The country code determines which radio channels and power limitations devices will support to comply with the wireless regulations for the country in which they will operate. For devices intended for use in the United States, the region code is preset as FCC and the country code is preset as United States. Select Save to reboot the selected devices.
• Add to Cloud Config Group: Add the selected devices to an existing Cloud Config Group (CCG). In the Add to Cloud Config Group panel, select a CCG to assign to the selected devices, and then select Continue. If you need to first create a new CCG, see Add a Cloud Config Group.
• Change Device Mode: Change the device mode from AP to Router.
• Reset IDM Client Certificate: Select to reset the IDM client certificate for this device.
• Revert Device to Template Defaults: Select to return the device settings to the network policy template. This removes any device-level configuration settings.
• Advanced: This option offers three functions: CLI Access, Bootstrap Configuration, and Update Netdump Settings. Select the check boxes for the devices you want to update, and select one of these options from the Advanced menu:
  • CLI Access: (Real devices only) Use this feature to enter CLI commands for the selected device or devices without establishing a console cable connected to the device. Enter the command in the CLI Command field, and then select Apply. The results of the command are displayed below the command entry field.
  • Bootstrap Configuration: Use this simple configuration to re-establish a connection between a device and ExtremeCloud IQ. See Bootstrap Configuration for more information.
  • Update Netdump Settings:You can configure a device to automatically save a core netdump file to a TFTP server on the network when it next boots up after becoming unresponsive. See Update Netdump Settings for more information.
• Assign Deployment Mode: Assign Pre-provisioned or production deployment modes.
• Change Management Status: Choose managed or unmanaged.
• Clear Audit Mismatch: There can occasionally be a mismatch between the configuration database and the device configuration database. If this occurs, perform this action.
• Clone Device: Apply the existing device-level configuration from one device to a new device with the same model. For example, if a 5520-24T switch malfunctions and you need to replace it with a new 5520-24T switch, this option allows you to apply the existing device-level configurations used by the previous 5520-24T.
