140 Switch configuration and management
Customizing baseline configurations
You must use a configuration template when you save a baseline configuration. Fabric Manager provides
two templates: Full Configuration and SNMP/Fabric Watch (see Figure 74 on page 135). You can create
custom templates or edit one of the existing templates.
Access the configuration templates by selecting Tool > Configuration > Save Baseline. Any customized
baseline templates you create are also accessible from this location. Select one of the templates and then
select a switch from the switch picker list.
The parameters that appear in the Save Baseline -- Parameter Selection dialog box (Figure 79) are
determined by the configuration template you have selected.

To create a custom template, you must create an XML file and save it in the
Fabric Manager/client/baseline/template directory on your Fabric Manager server. The
Full Configuration and SNMP/Fabric Watch template files are also in the
Fabric Manager/client/baseline/template directory.
To create a custom baseline template, you must define custom XML tags:
1. Open fullBaseLineTemplate.xml in a text editor.
NOTE: If you are running Fabric Manager in a Windows environment, the Notepad application does not
work for this task. To edit the XML document, you must open the file in WordPad or a similar application
that recognizes carriage returns.
