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

Steps
 

Open Device Management, Configuration Templates.


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

The Associate Template form opens with the template already selected.


Add one or more targets:

  1. Click png2.png TARGET and choose NEs from the drop-down list.

  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.


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.


Identifier fields appear in the form for each selected template. Enter information in each field.

Attention: Your input can’t contain the hash symbol (#).


Click ASSOCIATE to apply the configuration to the targets.
