7.5 How Do I Configure Connection Templates?
These tasks are used to configure connection templates:
• 7.5.1 Creating Connection Templates
• 7.5.2 Displaying Connection Templates
• 7.5.3 Modifying Connection Templates
• 7.5.4 Deleting Connection Templates
You can configure templates for new or modified connection parameters. A template is a set of
connection parameters for a specified connection. Cisco MGM provides default parameters that can be
used to create a template. This template can be modified and saved with a new name. When using the
template with the default parameters, the Unchanged button is not available.
