Cisco SD-WAN Templates - IP With Ease
About Templates
Configuration of device is maintained in a template that supports automatic rollback and deploy
over devices in network without network administrator headache to configure each device.

Hostnames
Site ID
Chassis Serial number of the device
System IP
Organization name
Identify the number of interfaces active and assign IP address
Define circuit transport type (Color)
1. Device Template
2. Feature Template
Device templates are specific to vEdge Model. Device template is a group of a feature templates and
can only be applied to specific device types. Multiple device templates for the same model of
hardware, depending on the device’s location, connectivity options, or what role it is playing in the
network. A device template can’t be shared across different device types
Feature template can be used across multiple different device types of vEdge model. Feature
templates provide the option to define variables for configuration parameters like System, VPN,
Interface, OSPF, SNMP, AAA, Policy etc.
Groups of a Device Template:
Basic Information: This includes parameters such as System, Logging, AAA, BFD, and OMP feature
templates.
Transport and Management VPN: This includes configuration of VPN 0 and VPN 512.
Additional Templates: This includes a local policy, security policies, SNMP configuration templates.
Global: This value will be same in configuration option globally applied to all devices utilizing this
template.
Device Specific: This value is specific to device with interface names. The values to these variables
are set when the device template is attached to a specific device.
BFD: BFD configure the timers and app-route multipliers for each transport or color. BFD timers are
used for App-Aware Routing.
OMP: timer configuration Change graceful restart timers or control redistribution from other routing
protocols into OMP.
Security: Change IPsec security settings such as anti-replay, authentication, and encryption.
Archive (optional) – Archive the running configuration with in a specific defined time onto a file
server.
VPN Interface: Define an interface that is part of a service VPN or VRF. Configuration parameters like
IP Address, QoS, ACLs, and NAT.
VPN interface bridge (optional): Configure layer 3 parameters of a bridge interface, like IPv4
address, DHCP helper, ACLs, VRRP, MTU, and TCP MSS.
SNMP (optional): Configure SNMP parameters, like SNMP string and location, SNMP version, views,
and communities, and trap groups.
Bridge (optional): Define layer 2 characteristics of a bridge, like the VLAN ID, MAC address aging,
maximum MAC addresses, and physical interfaces for the bridge.
Routing protocol templates: BGP or OSPF, and VPN interface templates are configured under a VPN.
Conclusion
Cisco SD-WAN Templates are used to configure devices in network very quickly and efficiently
without human error. It helps auto provisioning of device by pushing configuration in device
anywhere in organization network remotely.
