What is a Configuration Template?

You can think of a configuration template as a configuration update file that you can apply to large numbers of devices at a time. This file might contain the update for only one parameter or a complete access point configuration.

You can use the Configure > Templates option to:

•View existing templates—SeeViewing the Existing Templates.

•Create a template—See Creating a Template.

•Copy an existing template—See Copying a Template.

•Delete a template—See Deleting a Template.

•Export a template—Exporting a Template.

Note You cannot edit a Wizard template. However, you can copy a Wizard template to an IOS template, then use the IOS template choices to edit it.
