Edit Configuration Template Window
Use the Edit Configuration Template window to create a configuration template based on an archived device
configuration file. Creating a configuration template lets you easily download similar configurations to one or
more devices. The window displays a selected configuration file, and allows you to replace portions of it with
template variables. Then, when you download the template configuration to a device (using the Template
Download Wizard), the variables are automatically replaced with assigned values for that device. For more
information, see How to Create and Download Configuration Templates.
To access the window, select a configuration that includes device configuration data ( or ) in the
left−panel Archive Mgmt tab and select Tools > Create Configuration Template. You can also right−click a
configuration and select Create Configuration Template from the menu. When the window opens, the
configuration file is displayed. You can edit the displayed text directly, or use the Find and Replace buttons to
edit the file with the desired variables. All instances of the IP address of the device the configuration was
saved from, will be automatically replaced with the %ManagedIP% variable. You can use the Undo Replace
button to undo this auto replacement if desired.
NOTE: Configuration templates can be created from text−based (ASCII format) configurations
files. Although you can open binary configuration files in the Edit Configuration
Template window, you should not use binary configuration files to create templates.
