Wildcards, Templates, and Aliases
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/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# template jbtest
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-TPL)# hostname test
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-TPL)# end-template
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit
RP/0/RP0/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/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# template test2 (hostname)
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-TPL)# hostname $hostname
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-TPL)# end-template
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# show running-config template test2
template test2 (hostname )
hostname $hostname
end-template
Applying Configuration Templates
To apply a template, enter the apply-template template-name [(parameter)] command in global
configuration mode and consider the following guidelines:
• Only one template can by 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.
Step 5
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-TPL)# commit
Applies the target configuration commands to the running
configuration.
Step 6
show running-config template
template-name
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show running-config
template tmplt_1
Displays the details of the template.
