Applying Templates
You need to apply a template to deploy and manage common configurations across devices. When you apply a template to device group(s), you can deploy and manage configuration across all the devices of the group (s). You also have an option to apply a template to selected devices within any group.
NSM supports application of multiple templates to device group(s) or device(s): To overwrite the configuration of the devices associated with any template, you can apply another template.
To apply a template
- Navigate to Manager View | Home > Templates.
-
Click on the Action icon in the row of the template for which you want to modify the attributes.
-
Click on Apply Template.
-
Select the device group(s) or devices within any group (s) to apply the template.
A template cannot be applied to device(s) that don't belong to any group. Hence, aren't displayed in the dialog.
