Prepare to install Azure CLI extensions

  • Artikel

This how-to guide explains the steps for installing the required az CLI and extensions required to interact with Operator Nexus.

Azure CLI is required to be installed before the extensions installations. Follow Install Azure CLI instructions to install it.

Installations of the following CLI extensions are required:

  • networkcloud for Microsoft.NetworkCloud APIs
  • managednetworkfabric for Microsoft.ManagedNetworkFabric APIs

Note

Any upgrade of the Azure CLI downloads the latest stable version of the installed extension. The --allow-preview=True needs to be explicitly set to install the preview version of the extensions.

  • For list of available versions, see the extension release history.

  • Upgrade any previously installed version of the extension

    az extension add --yes --upgrade --name networkcloud

az networkcloud --help
