Deploying CLI Configlet Details

You apply a CLI Configlet to devices when you want to push the configuration to devices. The CLI Configlet can be deployed to only one device, or the CLI Configlet can be deployed to multiple devices simultaneously. The saved configlets that are being propagated to devices can be viewed by selecting the Deployment option in the task pane. You can select a particular Configlet and view the parameters contained in it in the form of configuration stanzas and hierarchy levels. Each level in the hierarchy is indented to indicate each statement's relative position in the hierarchy. Each level is generally set off with braces, with an open brace ({) at the beginning of each hierarchy level and a closing brace (}) at the end.
