Exporting a Macro

You can export individual Telnet macros from the Telnet applet Macro Editor. The export feature exports
the currently loaded macro to an XML file. The exported file is saved in the appropriate format to be
imported into the Telnet Macro Editor using the Import macro function.
To export a macro:
1 Enter the macro (or load a saved macro) into the Macro Editor.
2 Click the Export button.
3 A Save File dialog appears, where you can specify the name of the file into which the macro should
be saved.
4 Click Save to save the file.
Macros must be exported one at a time as separate files. If you want to save multiple macros, you must
Load and then Export each macro in turn.

Running a Telnet Session on an Individual Switch

You can open a Telnet session on an individual switch by selecting the switch from the Telnet switch list
in the Component Tree. This opens a Telnet session to the selected switch, and then waits for command
input, just as with any other Telnet session.
For Extreme Networks devices EPICenter will automatically log into the switch based on the device
login name and contact password configured for the device in the Inventory Manager. (Your EPICenter
user name must also have ExtremeWare access permission). For third-party devices, you will need to
provide the login and password interactively.
Open Telnet sessions are indicated by displaying the switch name in bold in the Component Tree.
EPICenter allows only five Telnet sessions to be open concurrently, and they must all belong to the same
Device Group. If you select more than five switches, EPICenter will open five connections, then close
the oldest (the first connection) in order to open a connection on the sixth switch, and so on. If you open
a Telnet session on a device in a different device group, any open sessions in the original device group
are disconnected.
Any open Telnet sessions are closed when you leave the Telnet feature to view a different EPICenter
feature.

file. If you need to specify roles other than the predefined ones, you must
modify and re-save the macro after it has been imported.
