11.4 Deploy servers
11.4.1 Create server templates
A server template should be created for each unique server and NIC combination used in the chassis group.
If all servers are identical, only one template needs to be created. For the hardware used in this example,
three templates were created:
• MX740c with QLogic QL41232HMKR NIC
• MX740c with Intel XXV710 NIC
• MX840c with QLogic QL41232HMKR NIC
NOTE: To create a server template, follow the steps in Section 5.2
.
The templates created for this example are shown in Figure 74.

11.4.2 Add VLANs to the server templates
After successfully creating server templates, associate each template with VLANs as follows:
1. On the Configuration > Deploy page, select a server template previously created such as MX740c
with QLogic QL41232HMKR NIC.
2. Click the Edit Network button.
3. In the Edit Network window, complete the following:
a. For both ports, if they will be untagged members of a VLAN, select the VLAN from the drop-down
box under Untagged Network. No ports are untagged in this example.
b. For both ports, select the VLANs they are tagged members of in the drop-down box under
Tagged Network. Both ports are tagged members of all six VLANs in this example as shown in
Figure 75. Click Finish.
