Special Options for Cisco Router Templates
When you work with a Cisco router belonging to a device type listed in the
CISCO_MTYPES file, the Templates view contains an additional field at the
bottom called Include Host Configuration (see Figure 3-12). This field provides
two functions. First, it enables you to specify whether you want to capture the
Cisco host configuration with a new or edited template. Second, it also shows
you whether existing templates will capture the Cisco host configuration.
Notice when you click on a template name, either the Yes or No radio button in
the Include Host Configuration field becomes highlighted. If the Yes button is
highlighted, that template will capture the host configuration.
Figure 3-12. The Include Host Configuration Field in the Detail Section
When you create or edit a template for a Cisco router, remember these points:
• If you want the template to capture the host configuration, select the Yes
button in the Include Host Configuration field of the Templates view.
Otherwise, make sure the No button is selected.
• A Cisco router template can specify both attributes and the host
configuration, or just attributes, or just the host configuration. If you want
to capture only the host configuration, do not select any attributes in the
Attribute field. Just select Yes in the Include Host Configuration field.
• When you print a template that includes the host configuration, the
printout contains the words <host configuration> at the bottom of the
attribute list.

NOTE
It is important to note that you can capture the Cisco host configuration
only with a template. You cannot manually capture it without a template. In
this respect, the Cisco host configuration commands differ from attributes.
