When capturing device settings via the Save As Template feature, these items should remain unchecked. If it is desired to have these configuration options as part of the template, an edit can be performed on the template after it has been saved and the desired configuration option can be selected and configured appropriately. Once the modified template is saved, a version of the configuration option that supports multiple configuration will be used and the operation should succeed. This situation will not occur during normal use of multiple device configuration or when a configuration template is created independently from a device.

●Other Ways to Create a Configuration Template

Configuration templates are used to store device settings and apply those settings to one or more devices. This can be done to keep device configurations consistent and to make it easy to apply a common set of settings on a regular basis. Templates are an easy way to change the settings for regularly scheduled configurations, without having to recreate the entire schedule. Templates can also be used to save many settings from a device, either for backup purposes or to apply to similar devices.

Steps to Create a Configuration Template

1.In the Device Management navigation pane, right-click Configuration, and then select Create configuration template. The Create Device Configuration Template wizard starts.

2.On the Select Template Models page, select the device models to configure, and then click the right arrow button.

3.Select the network cards to configure, and then click the right arrow button.

4.Click Next. The Specify template options page appears, listing only the configuration options that apply to the device models and network cards you selected.

5.Enter the name of the template (up to 48 characters).

6.Specify the settings for the configuration options to include in the template, and then click Next.

NOTE: If you click Back, any configuration settings you already specified might be lost when you return to the Specify template options page. If you remove any device models or network cards on the Select Template Models page, some configuration options might not be available when you return to the Specify template options page. If you add device models or network cards on the Select Template Models page, new configuration options might be available when you return to the Specify template options page.

NOTE: For information about specific configuration options that might not work properly in a batch mode, see Captured Configurable Options and Configuration Templates on page 170.

NOTE: The configuration options selected for this template will only be applied to those devices that support the options.

7.On the Confirm page, verify that the configuration option settings are correct, and then click Create Template.

8.On the Results page, click the Done button.
