Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After a configuration template is created, to apply the configurations in the configuration template, run the apply-command-group command.

If this command is run in the system view, the device delivers the configurations in the configuration template to all matching service view instances.
If this command is run in a specified service view instance, the device delivers the configurations in the configuration template to the specified service view instance.
Multiple configuration templates can apply in a single service view instance.
Multiple configuration templates can be configured simultaneously in a single apply-command-group command instance.

The apply-command-group command is not supported in the NULL interface view.

Prerequisites

Configuration templates have been configured using the command group command.

Precautions

The configuration priorities are as follows:

Configurations performed by a user take precedence over those in a configuration template.
A configuration template in an existing view takes precedence over that in a parent view.
If multiple configuration templates apply to a single view using the running the apply-command-group command, configuration templates are prioritized in a descending order. A configuration template that is used earlier takes precedence over the one that is used later.

Example

# Apply configurations in a configuration template named g1 to all matching service view instances on a device.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] command group g1
[~HUAWEI] end-group
Warning: The configuration in the view of the current group will be committed. Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/N]:y
[~HUAWEI] apply-command-group g1
Warning: The template configurations will be applied to the matched view. Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/N]:y

# Apply configurations in a configuration template named g1 to the Loopback2 instance.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] command group g1
[~HUAWEI] end-group
Warning: The configuration in the view of the current group will be committed. Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/N]:y
[~HUAWEI] interface LoopBack 2
[*HUAWEI-LoopBack2] commit

Warning: The template configurations will be applied to the matched view. Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/N]:y
