Device Groups

You cannot apply a template to a device group. To use the same template for multiple
devices, you must apply the template to each device individually with the Template
Operations directive. See "Adding Device Groups" on page 179 for details about device
groups.

Default Values

Default values do not appear when editing a template because many default values
depend on the OS version and device platform.

Predefined Device Data

Templates do not automatically include any predefined device data, such as zones,
interfaces, or virtual routers. To create a template that refers to a specific predefined
entity, you must create the entity in the template.
For example, to create a template that refers to the ethernet1 interface on a ScreenOS
device:
In the template navigation tree, select Network > Interface.
1.
Click the Add icon and select Predefined Interface. The Physical Interface dialog
2.
box appears.
For Name, enter ethernet1.
3.
NOTE: When creating or editing predefined interfaces in a template, you must use the
exact name for each interface.
When adding an entity in a template, ensure that the menu option you select is appropriate
for the predefined entity. Choose the menu option that includes the name of the
predefined entity you are creating.
For example, to create a template that refers to the mgt zone on a ScreenOS device:
In the template navigation tree, select Network > Zone.
1.
Click the Add icon and select Predefined Functional Zone — mgt/vlan. The Zone
2.
dialog box appears.
Enter mgt.
3.

List Key Fields

List key fields are used for matching a configuration object in a list of similar objects. They
are read-only. You cannot edit list key parameters that are derived from a template. For
example, a zone name uniquely identifies a zone in the list of zones for the device. If you
create a zone in a template and apply the template to a device, you cannot change the
zone name in the device configuration. You must first delete the template-derived zone,
and then create a new zone.
