config file of a device. A command inside the push and exclude directive are included in the startup-config file
pushed to a device, but AWMS excludes them when calculating and reporting configuration mismatches.
Note: The opening tag may have leading spaces.
Below are some examples of using directives:

</push_and_exclude>no stopbits</push_and_exclude>

Using Conditional Variables in Templates

Conditional variables allow lines in the template to be applied only to access points where the enclosed
commands will be applicable and not to any other access points within the Group. For example, if a group of APs
consists of dual-radio Cisco 1200 devices (802.11a/b) and single-radio Cisco 1100 (802.11b) devices, it is
necessary to make commands related to the 802.11a device in the 1200 APs conditional. Conditional variables are
listed in the table below.
The syntax for conditional variables is as follows, and syntax components are described in
%if variable=value%

%endif%

Using Substitution Variables in Templates

Substitution variables are used to set AP-specific values on each AP in the group. It is obviously not desirable to
set the IP address, hostname, and channel to the same values on every AP within a Group. The variables in
96 are substituted with values specified on each access point's APs/Devices > Manage configuration page within
the AWMS User page.
