Overview
The Brocade Virtual ADX CLI provides support for managing and executing templates. The
templates exist in the following directories:
• /opt/ADX/tmpl/predef, for predefined templates provided by Brocade that cannot be deleted.
• /opt/ADX/tmpl/ready, for ready-to-use templates that require no user input to execute.
• /opt/ADX/tmpl/userdef, for user-defined templates that contain variables for user input before
execution.
Through the CLI, you can perform the following operations:
• Copying or exporting templates
• Creating a template from an existing template
• Deleting templates
• Validating templates
• Executing templates
• Displaying template information, including a list of templates on the Brocade Virtual ADX, their
contents and execution and validation status.
NOTE
For information on the System APIs for the Config Template feature, refer to the Brocade Virtual ADX
XML API Programmer’s Guide.
