Generate a New Device Template from an Existing Device

You can generate a new device template from a device that is registered with the management center. The new template has the same configuration as the device from which it is generated. You can generate a new device template from standalone and HA devices. However, if you generate a template from HA devices, the new template will not contain the failover configurations.

Perform the procedure given below to generate a new device template from an existing device.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Devices > Device Management.

Step 2

Click the More (more icon) icon, and click Generate Template from Device.

Step 3

In the Generate template from device window, enter a Name for the template.

Step 4

(Optional) Enter a Description for the template.

Step 5

Choose an Access Control Policy from the drop-down list.

Note

This policy is assigned to the generated template. Any other shared policies that are associated with the device from which the template is generated are assigned to the generated template only if these policies are visible in the domain in which the template is being generated.

Step 6

Click OK. You can view the status of template creation in the Notifications > Tasks window.

Step 7

Choose Devices > Template Management to view the newly created template.
