Execute an NCM config change template
When you execute a config change template, you select the nodes that template runs against and enter other values in a run-time wizard.
Before you can execute a config change template against a device, the device must have been inventoried in NCM.
You must have the NCM role of Administrator, Engineer, or WebUploader to execute a config change template.
- Click My Dashboards > Network Configuration > Config Change Templates.
- Select a template in list.
- Click Define Variables & Run.
- Select the target nodes.
- Click Next.
- Enter values in the input fields.
Input fields are different for each config change template, and they depend on the purpose of the template. For example, in a template that enables NetFlow data exporting for a set of Cisco devices, you might be asked to enter the IP address of the relevant NetFlow collector and the port on which your target device exports flow data.
- Click Next.
- If you want to see the CLI commands for a device, expand the device list and click Show Commands in New Window.
- If you want to save your changes to the startup config, select Write config to NVRAM after execute.
- Click Execute.
