Associating Templates with a Device

Note: This procedure applies to both MPE and MRA devices.

You would use this procedure if you had a number of devices that required the same instance.

To associate templates with an MPE or MRA device:

  1. From the MRA or Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Configuration.

    The content tree displays a list of server groups; the initial group is ALL.

  2. From the content tree, select the device.

    The administration page opens in the work area.

  3. Select the System tab.
  4. Click Modify.

    The administration page becomes editable.

  5. In the Associated Templates section, click Add.

    The Add Associated Templates dialog appears.

  6. Select one or more templates from the list and click Add.

    The Associated Templates list updates to include the selected templates.

  7. To order the Priority of the associated templates, change the values for each listed template.

    Note: Lower-numbered templates have higher priority than higher-numbered templates. This means that settings configured with a lower-value priority template can override the settings of a higher-value priority template.

  8. Click Save.
The specified templates' configurations are applied to the specified device.
