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

1. Navigate to Manager View | Home > Templates.

2. Click on the Action icon in the row of the template for which you want to modify the attributes.

3. Click on Apply Template.

   

4. 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, Unassigned Firewalls aren't displayed in the dialog.

   

5. Click Apply.
