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.
