Creating Configuration Templates

Configuration templates allow you to create a name that represents a group of configuration commands.
After a template is defined, it can be applied to interfaces by you or other users. As networks scale to
large numbers of nodes and ports, the ability to configure multiple ports quickly using templates can
greatly reduce the time it takes to configure interfaces.
The two primary steps in working with templates are creating templates and applying templates. The
following procedure describes how to create a configuration template.
