Procedure

1.

From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Configuration > Templates.

2.

From Device Templates, click Create Template.

In Cisco vManage Release 20.7.x and earlier releases, Device Templates is titled Device.

3.

From the Create Template drop-down list, select CLI Template.

4.

From the Device Model drop-down list, select the type of device for which you are creating the template.

  1. In Template Name, enter a name for the template. The name can be up to 128 characters and can contain only alphanumeric characters.

  2. In Template Description, enter a description of the template. The description can be up to 2048 characters and can contain only alphanumeric characters.

5.

Choose Device configuration.

Using this option, you can provide IOS-XE configuration commands that appear in the output of the show sdwan running-config command.

6.

(Optional) To load the running config of a connected device, select it from the Load Running config from reachable device list and click Search.

7.

In CLI Configuration, enter the configuration either by typing it, cutting and pasting it, or uploading a file. 


Device(config)# interface atm number 
Device(config)# no ip address 
Device(config)# interface atm number point-to-point 
Device(config)# no atm enable-ilmi-trap 
Device(config)# encapsulation aal5mux  pppoe-client 
Device(config)# pppoe-client dial-pool-number number 
Device(config)# interface Dialer dialer-rotary-group-number

To convert an actual configuration value to a variable, select the value and click Create Variable. Enter the variable name, and click Create Variable. You can also type the variable name directly, in the format {{variable-name}}; for example, {{hostname}}.

9.

Click Add. The new device template is displayed in the Device Template table. The Type column shows CLI to indicate that the device template was created from CLI text.
