Click OK in the Edit Templates dialog box. Then click Apply to save your changes to
the device configuration.
The template icon appears next to “Network” in the device navigation tree. To confirm
your settings, select
Network > DNS > Settings .
To apply the settings to the device itself, invoke the Update Device directive to push the
configuration to the device. See “Updating Devices” on page 239.
NOTE: Select Retain Template values on Removal in the templates configuration
screen for SA, IC or Junos templates, to retain template values if a template is removed
from the device.
Templates and Importing Devices
You can set device values using a template or directly on the device object. If you import
a device that already has certain values set, then those values are also stored by NSM.
Where field keys match, imported values override values inherited from the template so
that the effective device object configuration matches the device. The live relationship
with the template is preserved, however, so that reverting to the previous value removes
the latest value inherited from the template.
You can override device settings manually or by using the Template Operations directive.
Promoting a Device Configuration to a Template
NSM allows you to import the configuration of any Secure Access, Infranet Controller,
or Junos device and then convert (promote) it into a template. You can then use that
template to make identical configurations on other devices.
To promote a device configuration to a template, in the left panel of the device editor,
right-click on the configuration node you want to promote to a template, and select
Promote Template . In the Select Templates dialog box, select the template to which
you want to apply the selected part of the configuration.
