Provisioning Appliances

Working with Default Configurations

Each appliance requires a unique name and management port IP address, but many other settings will be the same across all appliances. ETEMS lets you define your own set of default settings to be used in all appliances of particular model and software version level. See the configuration chapter for your appliance model for more information about each configuration option.

Customizing the Default Configuration

You can think of a default configuration as a template that contains settings to be used on all appliances. Using a customized default configuration offers a significant time savings when you are provisioning a large number of appliances. Add settings that are common to all appliances of a particular model and software version, such as the NTP server, EncrypTight settings, syslog servers, or the password that ETEMS uses to access the appliances.

To customize the default configuration:

1On the Edit menu, click Default Configuration.

2Select the product family and software version.

3In the appliance editor, change the desired defaults on each tab.
