You clone a template definition to quickly create a new
template definition with a new name but same properties.
To modify a template definition without disabling templates
based upon that definition, first clone the definition, then modify
the clone.
Unlike the Modify function, the Clone function
does not require that a definition be unpublished.
When you clone a template definition, you cannot change the
device family or any existing pages.
To add additional pages, modify the clone (see Modifying a Template Definition).
To clone a template definition:
- On the Junos Space Network Management Platform user interface,
select Device Templates > Definitions.
The Definitions page is displayed.
- Select the template definition you want to clone and select Clone Template Definition from the Actions menu.
The Clone Template Definition pop-up window is displayed.
- (Optional) In the Please specify a new name for the
clone field, enter a user-defined template definition name.
If you do not enter a new name for the template definition,
Junos Space Network Management Platform creates the new template definition
by appending “clone of” to the original template definition
name.
- (Optional) In the Description field, enter
a user-defined description.
- Click Clone.
