Configuring Common Services Using Service Templates

Policy Manager Service templates provide a way to step through the service-creation process for the most common use cases, allowing you to easily create services and configure their specific components, such as role-mapping policies, enforcement policies, and associated network devices. Other service types that are used less frequently can be configured manually, or using the service wizards.

Using Templates to Create Services

You can use templates to create services for common use cases for by defining baseline policies and required data:

1. Navigate to the Configuration > Service Templates & Wizards page. The following page opens:

2. Select the desired service template. The configuration dialog for the selected service template opens, as shown in the following example:
