Applying Configuration Templates - Cisco ASR 9000 Getting Started Manual

Chapter CLI Tips, Techniques, and Shortcuts
Examples
The following example shows how a simple template is defined. The template contents are then
displayed with the show running-config template template-name command:
RP/0//CPU0:router# configure
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# template jbtest
RP/0//CPU0:router(config-TPL)# hostname test
RP/0//CPU0:router(config-TPL)# end-template
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# commit
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# show running-config template jbtest
template jbtest
hostname test
end-template
In the next example, a template is defined, and the template requires a parameter. The template contents
are then displayed with the show running-config template template-name command:
RP/0//CPU0:router# configure
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# template test2 (hostname)
RP/0//CPU0:router(config-TPL)# hostname $hostname
RP/0//CPU0:router(config-TPL)# end-template
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# commit
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# show running-config template test2
template test2 (hostname)
hostname $hostname
end-template

Examples
In the following example, a simple template is defined. The template contents are then displayed with
the show running-config template template-name command:

RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# apply-template jbtest
RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# show

Only one template can be applied at a time.
If the same template is applied multiple times, the most recent application overwrites the previous
ones.
Provide the exact number of parameters for the template.
Templates are applied as a "best effort" operation; only valid changes are committed. If any
command in the template fails, that command is discarded.
After a template is applied, the show configuration command displays the target configuration
changes. The target configuration must be committed (with the commit command) to become part
of the running configuration.
