Promoting a Secure Access Device Configuration to a Template

NSM allows you to import a Secure Access device configuration and then convert, or promote, it to a template. You can then use that template to make identical configurations on other Secure Access devices.

To promote a Secure Access device configuration to a template:

1. From the Devices workspace in NSM, double-click the Secure Access device whose configuration settings you want to promote to a template. The Secure Access device dialog box appears.
2. Select the Configuration node. The device editor appears.
3. From the left pane of the device editor, right-click the Configuration node that you want to promote to a template and select Promote Template. The Select templates dialog box appears.
4. Select the template to which you want to apply the configuration settings and click OK. The Secure Access device configuration is promoted to the selected template.
