A
network
template
is
a
specification
for
a
virtual
network.
You
can
associate
a
virtual
machine
NIC
with
a
network
template.
When
you
deploy
the
virtual
machine,
Lab Manager
creates
a
virtual
network
based
on
the
network
template
and
connects
the
NIC
to
that
network.
Network
templates
allow
system
administrators,
administrators
with
rights
at
the
organization
level,
and
template
creators
to
predefine
virtual
networks
for
other
users.
A
network
template
provides
a
level
of
control
and
consistency
across
the
Lab Manager
installation.
These
templates
are
created
and
owned
by
a
user,
but
they
can
be
shared
with
other
users
in
an
organization
or
across
the
entire
installation.
