Deploying switch-configuration templates to a target switch

You can define VLAN port settings by creating a VLAN port-configuration template.

About this task

There are three types of deployments:

  • Normal. Deploys switch-configuration settings to one or more rack switches in a basic layered architecture.

  • VLAG. Deploys switch-configuration settings to exactly two switches that support a virtual link aggregation group (VLAG) architecture. The switches must be of the same model and software version.

  • Spine-Leaf. Deployment templates to one or more spine switches and leaf switches.

Procedure

To deploy a switch-configuration template to one or more managed switches, complete the following steps.

  1. From the XClarity Administrator menu bar, click Provisioning > Switch Configuration Templates. The Switch Configuration Templates page is displayed.
  2. Select one or more switch-configuration templates that you want to deploy.
  3. Click the Deploy icon (Deploy pattern icon) to display the Deploy Template dialog.
  4. Select one or more switches to which you want to deploy the templates.
    Tip
    Only switches that are compatible with the selected templates are listed.
  5. Click Deploy. A dialog is displayed that lists the deployment status of each selected switch.
  6. Click Deploy again to start the deployment process.
    Note
    Deployment might take several minutes to complete.
