Configuration Templates Overview

Juniper Security Director Cloud offers configuration templates to set up and manage configurations for Juniper Networks and third-party devices throughout their life cycle. Configuration templates support the deployment of customized device configurations.

You can define the following types of configuration templates:

  • Globally—Specifies the configuration to apply to all the devices managed by Juniper Security Director Cloud, such as SNMP configuration.

  • Device-specific—Specifies a configuration that is specific to a device, such as BGP configuration.

Juniper Security Director Cloud offers several predefined configuration templates. You can copy an existing template and change its parameters to create a customized configuration template. Both administrators and privileged users can add new configuration templates.
