How do I associate a physical template to the network?

Purpose

Associating a template to the network creates a deployment. Template parameters that are already configured on the target are preserved.

To create a physical template deployment where the template parameters will overwrite target configuration, see How do I create a physical configuration deployment?

Steps
 
1 

Open Device Management, Configuration Templates.

2 

Choose a physical template and click png1.png (Table row actions), Associate to network.

The Associate Template form opens with the template already selected.

3 

Add one or more targets:

  1. Click png2.png TARGET and choose Ports.

  2. Choose one or more targets from the list to add them to the Bin. You can use Shift-click to choose a range of targets.

  3. Verify the list of targets in the Bin and click ADD.

  4. To add additional targets, repeat the previous steps and click UPDATE.

Note: All targets must be the same type: you can’t deploy to ports and groups in the same deployment.

4 

If needed, click the VIEW TEMPLATE CONFIG button for a read-only preview of the configuration parameters. If any configuration in a fixed template conflicts with the configuration in the target, the deployment will be misaligned.

5 

Click ASSOCIATE to apply the configuration to the targets.
