Configuring General Template Files and Variables

This section describes the most general aspects of configuring AP device templates and the most common

variables:

 Configuring General Templates

 Using Template Syntax

 Using Directives to Eliminate Reporting of Configuration Mismatches

 Using Conditional Variables in Templates

 Using Substitution Variables in Templates

 Using AP-Specific Variables

Configuring General Templates

Perform the following steps to configure Templates within a Group.

1. Select a Group to configure.

2. Select an AP from the Group to serve as a mo

del AP for the others in the Group. You should select a device

that is configured currently with all the desired settings. If any APs in the group have two radios, make sure to

select a model AP that has two radios and that both are configured in proper and operational fashion.

3. Navigate to the Gr

oups > Templates configuration page. Click Add to add a new template.

4. Select the type of device that will be configured

by this template.

5. Select the model AP from the

drop-down list, and click Fetch.

6. AWMS automatically attempts to replace some values from the configuration of th

at AP with variables to

enable AP-specific options to be set on an AP-by-AP basis. Refer to “Using Template Syntax” on page183

These variables are always encapsulated between % signs.

On the right side of the configuration page is the

Additional Variables section. This section lists all available variables for your template. Variables that are in

use in a template are green, while variables that are not yet in use are black. Verify these substitutions to

ensure that all of the settings that you believe should be managed on an AP-by-AP basis are labeled as

variables in this fashion. If you believe that any AP-level settings are not marked correctly, please contact Dell

support before proceeding.

Note: Dell recommends starting with a small group of access points and placing these APs in Monitor Only mode, which is read-

only. Do this via the Modify Devices link until you are fully familiar with the template configuration process. This prevents

configuration changes from being applied to the APs until you are sure you have the correct configuration specified.
