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 model 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. Go to the Groups > Templates configuration page. Select 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 select Fetch.

6. AWMS automatically attempts to replace some values from the configuration of that AP with variables to

enable AP-specific options to be set on an AP-by-AP basis. Refer to “Using Template Syntax” on page155.

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.

7. Specify the device types for the template. The templates only apply to devices of the specified type.

 Specify whether AWMS should reboot the devices after a configuration push. If the Reboot Devices after

Configuration Changes option is selected, then AWMS instructs the AP to copy the configuration from

AWMS to the startup configuration file of the AP and reboot the AP.

 If the Reboot Devices after Configuration Changes option is not selected, then AWMS instructs the AP

to copy the configuration to the startup configuration file and then tell the AP to copy the startup

configuration file to the running configuration file.

 Dell PowerConnect W recommends using the reboot option when there are changes requiring reboot to

take effect, for example, removing a new SSID from a Cisco IOS device. Copying the configuration from

startup configuration file to running configuration file merges the two configurations and can cause

undesired configuration lines to remain active on the AP.

8. Restrict the template to apply only to the specified version of firmware. If the template should only apply to a

specific version of firmware, select Yes and enter the firmware version in the Template Firmware Version text

field.

9. Select Save and Apply to push the configuration to all of the devices in the group. If the devices are in

monitor-only mode (which is recommended while you are crafting changes to a template or creating a new

one), then AWMS will audit the devices and compare their current configuration to the one defined in the

template.

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 using 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.

NOTE: If you set the reboot flag to No, then some changes could result in configuration mismatches until the AP is rebooted.
