Defining Baseline Templates
The baseline template can contain place-holders for device-specific values. These
are called parameters. You must embed such parameters within a “[“ and “]” with
no spaces in between.
For example:
set snmp community read-only [read-only-community-name]
set snmp community read-write [read-write-community-name]
In this example, there are two place-holders in [read-only-community-name] and
[read-write-community-name].
This means that the actual values for these two place holders are irrelevant as long
as these two commands are on the device.
The rules for specifying the baseline template are:
• All the commands that are disallowed should begin with a (-).
• All commands that are mandatory can begin with a (+).
• Commands that do not begin with (-) are also treated as mandatory.
• Comments in the baseline file should begin with a “#”.
For example:
#Mandatory
(+)set port disable [port-range]
(+)set port trap [port-range] enable
(+)set vtp domain [name] password [read-only-community-name-string]
(+)set vtp mode transparent
(+)set snmp community read-write [read-write-community-name-string]
#DisAllowed
(-)set snmp community read-only public
(-)set udld enable [Ports]
The last command in this example, verifies that “udld” is not enabled on any of
the ports. To ensure this, the parameter [Ports] is used.
