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.
