A site template is a time-saving tool, allowing you to configure a template of basic site information
that can be used over and over to configure similar sites. Basic site information includes:
•
Physical Resources
Includes BRI, PRI, V.35, RS232, and Digital Modem information. When applicable, switch type
and related information is also entered.
•
Options
Allows you to enable protocols that will be used by the site (bridging, IP, IPX, AppleTalk). Also
allows you to configure options such as SNMP, PPP, Call Control, and Default Line Protocol.
•
Security
Allows you to configure local user table settings (i.e., the type of security used — PAP, CHAP,
bridge MAC address, or CLID), or if the site uses an SFVRA Manager, you can configure TCP
port information. Configuring administrative session information is optional.
•
Connections
Allows you to specify how the site will handle connections. Connection information is grouped
into the following categories: authentication, restrictions, access, and protocols.
Note that many parameters configured in a site template are used to initialize the configuration of
a site when the site is added. These parameters may be overridden for a particular site or for
particular items added to a site. There are also some parameters that can only be configured in the
template; they are not available at the system level. The following site template parameters can not
be overridden:
•
under Physical Resources
all digital modem information
•
under Options
MAC Layer bridging: all information except enable/disable
IPX: RIP/SAP max table entries
AppleTalk: max route/zone table entries
SNMP: all information
PPP: all information
Call Control: all information
Default Line Protocol: all information
•
under Security
all information
If a site requires a different value for a parameter that can not be overridden, a new site template
must be created for the site. The site template dialog box has a duplicate option that is very useful
for this situation. You can create a duplicate site template, and make changes where necessary to
the duplicate.
