EPICenter Utilities
Using the DevCLI Commands
The utility is located in the root EPICenter install directory, by default
\Program Files\Extreme
Networks\EPICenter 5.0
in a Windows environment, or
/opt/extreme/epc5_0
in a Solaris
environment.
The DevCLI utility supports the following four commands:
•
devcli add <options>
to add a device or device group.
To add device 10.205.0.99 to the EPICenter database on the local host, using the default device user
name and password, enter the following command at the prompt:
devcli add -u admin -a 10.205.0.99
To add a device group to the EPICenter database with the name “Device Group 1,” enter the following
command at the prompt:
devcli add -u admin -g “Device Group 1”
To add multiple device groups to the EPICenter database with the names “Device Group 1” and
“Device Group 2,” enter the following command at the prompt:
devcli add -u admin -g "Device Group 1" -g "Device Group 2" -g "Device Group 3”
•
devcli mod <options>
to modify a device or device group.
To modify the password on device 10.205.1.51 to use an empty string, enter the command :
devcli mod -u admin -a 10.205.1.51 -d ““
NOTE
If you are running the DevCLI on a Windows platform, enter forward slashes to separate empty double
quotes to ensure the command executes correctly. For example, to use the previous command in a
Windows environment, enter the command:
devcli mod -u admin -a 10.205.1.51 -d \"\"
To modify the name of a device group from “Device Group 1” to “New Device Group,” enter the
following command at the prompt:
devcli mod -u admin -g “Device Group 1” -m “New Device Group”
•
devcli del <options>
to remove a device or device group.

devcli del -u admin -a 10.205.0.99
To remove a device group named “New Device Group” from the EPICenter database, enter the

To manually update the configurations for the default device group, enter the command:
