Configuration Templates Overview
Juniper Security Director Cloud provides configuration templates to provision configurations, both during onboarding and throughout the device life cycle, for Juniper Networks and other third-party devices. By using configuration templates, you can deploy customized configurations on devices.
You can use a configuration template in following ways:
Globally—You can define the configuration (for example, SNMP Configuration) to be applied to all the devices managed by Juniper Security Director Cloud.
Device-specific—You can define a configuration that is specific to a device; for example, BGP configuration.
By default, Juniper Security Director Cloud provides some predefined configuration templates. See Table 1 for the list of the predefined configuration templates. You can also create your own templates by cloning an existing template and modifying its settings. Templates can be added by administrators or users with privilege to add configuration templates.
Table 1 lists the predefined configuration templates.

Benefits
Configuration templates provide a mechanism to create customized configurations and push the configurations to one or more devices. This helps you to deploy configurations beyond the standard configuration templates provided in Juniper Security Director Cloud.
