Creating a Configuration with a Template — Procedure
Process
The ECM Templates window provides you with a list of attributes that you
use to create templates. This list includes all the readable/writable and non
shared attributes for the selected type of device.
When you use a template to capture a configuration:
1. ECM searches the selected device for the attribute values specified in the
selected template(s).
2. ECM captures the values of the attributes specified in the template and
includes the captured attribute/value pairs in the new configuration. If
available, ECM also captures all instances of an attribute.
3. If ECM cannot capture attribute values specified in the template, it shows
you the attributes that were not captured and does not include them in the
configuration.
ECM includes in the configuration only those attributes whose values can
be retrieved from the device. You can manually insert other attributes
later, if necessary.
Creating a Configuration with a Template — Procedure
Summary
1. From the menu bar of the Main Window, select Setup, Configurations....
This displays the Configurations Window.
2. Click on the Capture button or menu option.
A Capture Configuration dialog box is displayed. It includes the templates
that you created for this device type.
3. Select the configuration type you want: shared or device specific.
4. If the preselected device is not the one from which you want to capture
values for a configuration, click on the Choose button to select one or
more devices. Then in the Device dialog box, select the device(s) you want
and click on Ok. This returns you to the Capture Configuration dialog box.
5. Select the template(s) you want to use to capture the configuration. To
select multiple templates, hold down the CONTROL key and click on the
template names.
If you select more than one template, ECM captures the attribute values
specified in both templates and combines them in one configuration.
Attributes common to both templates appear only once in the
configuration
