ECM moves the selected attribute(s), with their flags, to the Attribute
field. As a result, the Insertable Attribute field following this operation
contains only those attributes that have not been added to the template.
5. If you want to remove attributes from the Attribute list at any time after
completing the previous Add function, proceed as follows:
Begin by clicking on the left side of the Deselect All button to deselect
all attributes in the left-hand Attribute scroll list. (This is important,
because selected attributes may be hidden from view, beyond the
range of attributes displayed in the window.)
To remove all attributes at once, click on the left side of the Select All
button.
To remove a specific attribute, click on the desired attribute in the
Attribute scroll list.
To remove any desired specific combination of attributes, click on each
undesired attribute in the Attribute scroll list in sequence, while
holding the Control key down. (If you click on an incorrect attribute by
error or change your mind after selecting one, you can deselect the
one(s) you do not want to remove by clicking on the attribute(s) again.)
After selecting (highlighting) the attribute(s) you want to remove,
click on the Cut button in the lower left corner.
6. If you are creating a template for a Cisco router and you want to capture
the host configuration, select Yes in the Include Host Configuration field
(only displayed when working with Cisco routers).
7. When you have finished, click on the Save As option in the File menu.
The Save option is grayed-out because this is a new template that needs a
name. When you modify a template, the Save option will be available to
you.
When you click on Save As, the Save As dialog box appears. See
Figure 3-8.
NOTE
You can create templates for configurations that require some attributes to
be configured before other attributes. If you create multiple templates and
then multiple configurations for a single device, you can load the
configurations to the device in the required order.
