Parameterized Templates

gayle.whiting · ‎06-07-2007

I am creating a user defined netconfig job with a parameterized template to change a number or variables on approx 800 cisco devices.

Is there a list anywhere of the correct values for the 'CMDPARAM NAME' field which I need to create in the file ?

e.g.

Or where can I find the correct syntax for the CMDPARAM NAME to change the following variables:

service password-encryption

enable secret password

snmp community strings

snmp server host address & string

Telnet, console & aux passwords?

With service password-encryption, how would this be written in a parameterized template i.e

</CMDPARAM>

If I wanted to turn service password encryption on using the template, what would the <value> field be?

With parameterized templates, you are assigning commands to variable names. The idea with that is allow one to create a general template that has some device-specific components. Typically, these include things like hostname, IP addresses, ACLs, etc. But you can do this with "service password encryption".

To do what you want to do, pick a variable to represent "service password encryption" (e.g. $encryption). Your template will look like:

$encryption

And the XML file will look like:

service password encryption
