We have 200+ Extreme switches and planning to change the password. We have netsight so can anyone please tell me the steps to change the new password? Am completely new to Netsight.

Thanks in advance

Am using X460-24x, trying this in only one switch.

Thank you, let me try this now.

Hi Dineshkumar,

The script in Netsight Command Script tool for XOS devices would be the following:

If you want to apply the change but not save the configuration you can use:

configure account admin password
@SLEEP 1
Test123 <= Current pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass confirmation
@SLEEP 5
exit
@SLEEP 1
No

If you want to include the "save" option it would be the following:

configure account admin password
@SLEEP 1
Test123 <= Current pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass
@SLEEP 1
Test5678 <= New pass confirmation
@SLEEP 1
save
@SLEEP 1
Yes
@SLEEP 5
exit

As already recommended, please be familiar with this Netsight tool by testing the script in 1-2 switches before applying it to all units.

What switch do you have?

Here the XOS commands that you'd need for the script...

See the following.
Depending on your device, the script here may need to change.
I also recommend trying it on several devices at a time, rather than trying the whole lot at one time in case something goes wrong, you limit it in scope.
