Creating a configuration template
In BIMS, you can create two types of configuration templates:
• Configuration file—Includes the entire contents of a startup or running configuration. When
a configuration file is deployed as startup configuration to a CPE, the existing startup
configuration of the CPE is replaced entirely by the new-deployed configuration file. When a
configuration file is deployed as running configuration to a CPE, the CPE just adds the contents
of the configuration file to the existing running configuration.
• Configuration segment—Contains only a portion of a configuration file. A configuration
segment can only be deployed as running configuration, which adds the contents of the
segment to the existing running configuration of the target CPE.
NOTE: You cannot deploy a configuration segment as the startup configuration. For more
information, see “Deploying CPE configurations.”
BIMS provides two ways to add a configuration template to the Configuration Templates list:
• Manually creating a configuration template
• Adding a configuration template by importing a file
