Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Configurations in different views may be identical on a device. To simplify the configurations, create a configuration template, define configurations that are duplicate in different views in it, and apply the configuration template to specified views.

To create a configuration template, run the command group command. After the configuration template is configured, perform configurations in matching views. Regular expressions can be used in service view instances.

Precautions

The command group command takes effect immediately once being run.
Any attempt to delete a configuration template in use fails.
After the configuration template view is displayed, to exit the view, run the end-group or abort command.

Example

# Create a configuration template named g1 and enable IPv6 in the views of Loopback.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] command group g1
[~HUAWEI-group-g1] interface <Loopback.>
[~HUAWEI-group-g1-<Loopback.>] ipv6 enable
[~HUAWEI-group-g1-<Loopback.>] quit
[~HUAWEI-group-g1] end-group
