Using Configuration Templates

A Template Group is a collection of templates used to configure settings across multiple appliances.

n	IMPORTANT: Templates will REPLACE all settings on the appliance with the template settings unless the template has a MERGE option and that option is selected.

n	To edit a template, click the template label next to its checkbox.

n	You cannot save changes to the Default Template Group. To save the edits as a new template group, click Save As.

n

To apply templates to appliances selected in the tree, select the desired template checkbox(es) and click Apply Templates. A summary table appears, showing when the selected templates were last applied to the chosen appliances, by whom, and if there are any differences between the previously applied template and the current template. Then you can either click Apply or Close.

n	There is no permanent association between a template and an appliance — it's a one-time, one-way action.

n	When returning to the Templates page, the Template Group field defaults to showing the last template group viewed.

n	Unsaved changes display as an icon to the right of the template label.
