HPE Aruba Networking Central allows you to configure multiple devices in bulk using templates. However, in some cases, the configuration parameters may vary per device. To address this, HPE Aruba Networking Central identifies some customizable CLI parameters as variables and allows you to modify the definitions for these variables as per your requirements.
You can download a sample file with variables for a template group or for the devices deployed in a template group, update the variable definitions, upload the file with the customized definitions, and apply these configuration changes in bulk.
Important Points to Note
- Variables are associated to a device and not to a group. If you move a device between groups, variables remain with the device.
- Variables are displayed as part of the group to which the device belongs. After you upload the variables for a device, the association would stay in the system even if the device is moved to a UI group or template group.
- If the device is part of a UI group, variables are unused and not displayed in the UI. HPE Aruba Networking Central ignores the variables.
- If the device is moved to a template group, variables are displayed in the UI and used for configuration purposes.
