Policies is explained in each of the User Guides for each of the applicable licensed services.
Templates
Templates supports the browsing, creation, and deletion of Template Folders, Templates, and Data Files and it supports the viewing of Template-generated configurations. The configuration created from the template and data file can be downloaded to devices. When creating a Service Request, you can select from the list of templates and data files and associate them with the Service Request. At Deploy time, the template and data file are instantiated and the configuration is appended or prepended to the configlet generated by ISC. Another method is to use the Device Console feature to download templates independent of Service Requests, as explained in the "Download Template" section on page 5-3.
ISC provides a way to integrate a template with ISC configlets.
For a given customer edge router and/or provider edge router, you specify the following:
•
template name
•
template data file name
•
whether the template configuration file should be appended or prepended to the ISC configlet
•
whether the template configuration file is active or inactive for downloading to the edge device
The template data files are tightly linked with the corresponding template. You can use a data file and its associated template to create a template configuration file. The template configuration file is merged with (either appended or prepended to) the ISC configlet. ISC downloads the combined ISC configlet and template configuration file to the edge device router.
•
You can download a template configuration file to a router.
•
You can apply the same template to multiple edge routers, assigning the appropriate template data file for each device. Each template data file includes the specific data for a particular device (for example, the management IP address or host name of each device).
Template commands are treated independently from those associated with a service creation (Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN), Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), Traffic Engineering (TE), and so on). Consequently, template commands must be removed separately from the device(s) during a service decommission. To remove prior template commands, a separate template is needed during a decommission process. Decommissioning a service request does not automatically remove the original template commands. A separate negate template needs to be added to the decommission process and the original templates must be removed. The negate template must contain the necessary NO commands to successfully remove any unwanted IOS commands added by the original template.
Note
For additional information about template usage, see the Appendix D, "Template Usage".
To use Templates, follow these steps:
Step 1
Choose Service Design > Templates and you receive a window as shown in Figure 6-2, "Templates."
Figure 6-2 Templates
Template examples are shown in the left column. A complete list of template examples is specified in the Template Examples. A complete list of Repository variables is shown in the "Summary of Repository Variables" section. An explanation of a tool for importing and exporting templates into and from an ISC database is given in the "Importing and Exporting Templates" section.
Step 2
Then you can do any of the following:
•
View Templates Tree and Data Pane
•
Create Folders and Subfolders
•
Create Template
•
Create Data File
•

View Templates Tree and Data Pane
When you choose Service Design > Templates, you receive a window as shown in Figure 6-3, "Tree and Data Pane Structure."
The Templates tree is in the left column. You can continue clicking the + sign next to each created folder and subfolder until you get to the last level of information. The last possible level is the template name. Data file information is not kept in the tree.
The right section of the window is the data pane. The name of the folder or template is in the upper-left corner. When you check the check box next to the template or data file information, the Create Template, Create Data File, Edit, or Delete buttons are enabled as described in the following sections.
When there are many templates in a folder or many data files in a template, the Show Templates matching or Show Data Files matching filter in the upper right-hand corner of the data pane can be very useful. For example, you can click the drop-down list for Show Templates or Show Data Files and choose to match (matches are case-sensitive) the Name or Description and then in the matching box you can choose to work with templates or data files, respectively, that start with abc. In this case, enter abc* in the field and then click the Show button. Only the templates or data files, respectively, that start with abc appear. For more information about filters, see Filters, page 1-7.
Note
The template search facility applies to the folder currently selected and not across all folders.

Table 6-4 provides a summary of the VPLS Repository variables available from ISC Templates.
Importing and Exporting Templates
The importExportTemplateDB tool is available to import and export templates into and from an ISC database. You can import or export the complete or partial template database by specifying appropriate arguments. You can find this tool at: $ISC_HOME/bin/importExportTemplateDB.sh.
Enter the following:
importExportTemplateDB.sh <admin_user_id> <password> [<other_arguments>]
where:
<admin_user_id> is user identifier for someone with the admin role.
<password> is the password for the one with the admin role.
<other_arguments> is any combination of the following arguments separated by a space:
-nooverwrite
If you choose to use this nooverwrite argument, to prevent the overwriting of existing templates in the database, it must precede all other arguments and must be in the third position after <admin_user_id> and <password>.
Note
The default (when nooverwrite is not specified) is to overwrite the templates.
-exp_db <dest-dir>
Use this argument to export all templates and datafiles in the database, where <dest-dir> is the destination directory to which you want to export.
-imp_db <src-dir>
Use this argument to import all the files in <src-dir> into the database, where <src-dir> is the source directory from which you want to import. The files in <src-dir> are created by the exp_db process.
-exp_template_folder <src-folder-path> <dest-dir>
Use this argument to export a database template folder and its subfolders, where <src-folder-path> is the full path of the template folder to export and <dest-dir> is the directory where to place the exported files.
-imp_template_folder <src-dir> <dest-folder>
Use this argument to import all files in <src-dir> into the database, where <src-dir> is the source directory to import, and <dest-folder> is the destination import template folder.
-imp_template <srcfile> <dest-folder> <template-name>
Use this argument to import a template into the database, where <srcfile> is the full path of the template to import, <dest-folder> is the full path of the parent folder, and <template-name> is the template name in the database.
-imp_datafile <srcfile> <dest-template> <datafile-name>
Use this argument to import a template datafile into the database, where <srcfile> is the full path of the datafile to import, <dest-template> is the full path of the parent template, and <datafile-name> is the datafile name in the database.
-exp_template <template-pathname> <output-file>
Use this argument to export the database template to a file, where <template-pathname> is the full path of the template to export, and <output-file> is the output filename.
-exp_datafile <datafile-pathname> <output-file>
Use this argument to export a template datafile to a file, where <datafile-pathname> is the full path of the template datafile to export, and <output-file> is the output filename.
