Creating Operational Template from reference
Modular Systems
Before creating Operational Template, ensure that you complete the following tasks:
● Discover a Modular System by using the Discovery feature. For information about discovering Modular Systems, see
Discovering Modular System using manual discovery.
● If you are not using the default update source, and then create an update source. For more information, see Creating update
source.
You can create an Operational Template by capturing the configuration of the reference Modular Systems. After capturing the
configuration, you can directly save the template, or edit the attributes for update source and hardware configuration as per
your requirement. Now you can save the template, that can be used to configure other Modular Systems of the same model.
NOTE: If you want to configure Active Directory (AD) users on other MX7000 devices ensure that you create an
Operational Template from an MX7000 Modular System where all the AD users are configured.
NOTE: User account’s passwords are not captured in Operational Template, from reference Modular System for security
reasons. Edit the Operational Template to add a new user account and password, and then apply the Operational Template
on the managed Modular Systems. Else, you can apply the Operational Template without any changes to user accounts, and
the same passwords that are used in the reference Modular System are applied on the managed Modular System.
1. In OMIMSSC, do any of the following to open an Operational Template:
● In the OMIMSSC dashboard, click Create Operational Template.
● In the navigation pane, click Profiles > Operational Template, and then click Create.
The Operational Template wizard is displayed.
2. Enter a name and description for the template.
3. In Device Components, click a component to view the available attributes and their values.
The components are as follows:
● Firmware update
● Management Module Embedded
NOTE:
Ensure that the Web Server attribute is enabled. If this component is not enabled, and then the MX7000
Modular Systems cannot be accessed through OMIMSSC after deploying the Operational Template.
NOTE: For SNMP Configuration and Syslog Configuration, ensure that you select all four configurations
available in each attribute, to apply them on managed devices.
4. Use the horizontal scroll bar to locate a component. Select the component, expand a group, and then edit its attribute
values. Use the vertical scroll bar to edit a groups and attributes of a component.
5. Select the check box against each component, because, the configurations of selected components are applied on the
managed device, when the Operational Template is applied. However, all the configurations from the reference device are
captured and saved in the template.
6. To save the profile, click Finish.
Viewing Operational Template
To view Operational Templates created:
In OMIMSSC console, click Profiles and Templates, and then click Operational Template. All the templates that are created
are listed here.
Modifying Operational Template
You can modify the update source, hardware configurations, and operating system of an operational template.
