There are four variables you can use in an ExtremeWare CLI command that will be
expanded when the target switch is contacted. These are:
Table 6-2: ExtremeView Macro Variables
Variable
<NAME>
<DATE>
<TIME>
<ADDRESS>
For example, you can enter the command
upload config 45.1.12.101 extreme/<NAME>.cfg
and the macro substitutes the name of each switch on which it executes the macro.
These variables can only be used in macros, not in an interactive Telnet session.
3 To set the macro so that it plays back repeatedly at a specified interval, click the
Repeating check box, and enter an interval (in seconds) in the Repeat Delay field.
4 Click Play to initiate playback of the macro on the selected switches. This opens a
connection to the switch, logs in using the switch login and password as specified in
the Inventory Manager, and runs the macro.
If the macro is a repeating macro, it will run repeat sequentially on all selected
switches until you click Cancel.
The Macro Status column in the Telnet Connections table indicates the status of the
macro as execution progresses on the selected switches. The four states are:
— Pending—the macro is intended to run on this switch, but has not yet started.
— Playing—the macro is currently running.
— Cancelled—the macro was cancelled before it completed.
— Complete—the macro has completed running.
Note: Macro play will be automatically stopped if you exit the ExtremeView applet
(by selecting another applet or logging out) while a macro is running.
The Telnet session is usually left open after the macros completes. However,
ExtremeView only allows five Telnet sessions to be open concurrently. Therefore, if
you select more than five switches for macro playback, ExtremeView will open five
connections, the close the oldest (first connection) in order to open a connection on
the sixth switch, and so on. When macro playback has completed on all the selected
switches, the Telnet sessions will be left open on the last five.
