specify a list of devices in a file and have them added in a single operation.
The DevCLI is useful for updating the EPICenter inventory database quickly when large numbers of
devices or device groups are added, modified or removed, or if changes occur frequently. It can also be
useful when you want to duplicate the device inventory and device group configurations across
multiple installations of the EPICenter server.
Using the DevCLI Commands
The utility is located in the client\bin subdirectory under the EPICenter install directory, by default
\Program Files\Extreme Networks\EPICenter 6.0\client\bin in a Windows environment, or
/opt/ExtremeNetworks/EPICenter6.0/client/bin in a Linux or Solaris environment.
The DevCLI utility supports the following four commands:
● devcli add <options> to add a device or device group.

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:
