Best Practices when using Templates

Best Practices are recommend methods of completing tasks or tips that should be used, based on a typical scenario.

• Templates are used for new deployments and mass change, but not for ongoing policy changes in the network

•  A template should be constructed from a contextual subsection of a config

•  Primary templates should contain all contextual templates needed to construct a "gold standard" config

•  A compliance audit for a contextual template is constructed from one or more tests.
