Associating Templates
Associate one or more existing configuration templates to the entire fabric, all spines, all leaves, all
aggregation devices, all access devices, all core switches, or a set of switches. If you associate a template
with an entire fabric, all spines, all leaves, all aggregation devices, all access devices, or core switches, the
template is automatically applied to the newly added switches so you don’t have to create new
associations manually. You can also edit and delete templates.
NOTE: Each template can have only one association per fabric. AFM does not support template
ordering for command sequencing. If you want sequence commands, Dell Networking
recommends manually combining the templates into a single template.
