Configuring a Device Template
Device templates contain global parameters and workflows. Global parameters are a set of variables that can be customized easily.
Configuring Template Settings in a Device Template
To configure the device template settings:
- Select Resources > Device Template.
The Device Templates page appears.
- Select a device template for which you want to configure
the settings and then select Edit Device Template > Template
Settings.
The Template Settings page appears.
- Complete the configuration settings according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
- Click Save.
Table 1: Fields on the Template Settings Page
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Customer Parameters | |
AUTO_DEPLOY_STAGE2_CONFIG | Specify whether to automatically deploy stage-2 configuration at the end of the Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) workflow. Example: Enabled |
ZTP_ENABLED | Specify whether to enable ZTP for the device. Note: This option is supported on SRX Series Services Gateways only. Example: Enabled |
PRE_STAGED_CPE | Specify whether the CPE device is prestaged with WAN configuration. Note: This option is supported on SRX Series Services Gateways only. Example: Enabled |
ACTIVATION_CODE_ENABLED | Specify whether the customer must use an activation code to activate the CPE device. Example: Enabled |
OOB_OAM_Port | Specify the name of the port used for out-of-band Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) traffic. This port is used in deployments where OAM and data traffic are on separate physical ports. Note: This option is supported on SRX Series Services Gateways only. Example: fxp0 |
S2_MODEL_HUGEPAGE_COUNT | Specify the number of 1-GB huge pages to be used by the VNFs on an NFX250-S2 device with a total memory of 32 GB. Example: 21 |
USE_SINGLE_SSH_TO_NFX | Specify whether to enable device-initiated connections (outbound SSH) with port-forwarding capability. Port forwarding enables Contrail Service Orchestration to manage an NFX250 device through a single IP address. Example: Enabled |
S1_MODEL_HUGEPAGE_COUNT | Specify the number of 1-GB huge pages to be used by the VNFs on an NFX250-S1 device with a total memory of 16 GB. Example: 21 |
VNF_OAM_TRANSLATED_PORT_START | Specify the first port number that can be used to expose a port on the gateway router’s OAM or WAN interface through port translation. Use this option in cases where the VNF does not have its own OAM IP address from the in-band OAM network. |
ENC_ROOT_PASSWORD | Specify the Junos OS-encrypted root password to be set on an NFX250 device. Example: ***************** |
WAN Port Names | Specify the mapping Junos OS interface descriptors for the hardware ports. The RJ-45 port is the default port for the NFX250 device. You can change the default port if you want to use a different type of connector, such as SFP. |
GWR_LAN_PORT | Specify the mapping of the gateway router’s LAN port names to the corresponding front panel physical port names on the NFX250 device. Currently, the logical ports are created on the ge-0/0/4 interface. |
JCP_LAN_PORT_NAMES | Specify the port names from LAN_0 through LAN_9. |
GWR_LAN_PORT_NAMES | Specify the port names from LAN_0 through LAN_9. |
LAN_PORT_NAMES | Specify the port names from LAN_0 through LAN_10. |
Updating Stage-2 Configuration Template in a Device Template
Each device template has a set of configuration templates that can be used to deploy additional configuration on to the CPE device after it is activated. These templates are known as stage-2 configuration templates. You can add or remove stage-2 configuration templates from a device template.
 | Note: By default, the CPE device configuration is not supported on the CPE device. If you need the CPE device configuration, then you must configure it through stage-2 configuration in the device templates. |
To add a stage-2 configuration template:
- Select Resources > Device Template.
The Device Templates page appears.
- Select a device template for which you want to add the
stage-2 configuration and select Edit Device Template > Stage-2
Config Templates.
The Stage-2 Configuration Templates page appears. Table 2 lists the fields (and their descriptions) on the Stage-2 Configuration Templates page.
- Click the add icon (+) and complete the configuration settings according to the guidelines provided in Table 3.
- Click Save.
The new stage-2 configuration template is included in the device template.

Name | Description |
|---|---|
Name | View the name of the stage-2 configuration template. Example: LAN side config |
Family | View the name of the device family. Example: juniper-srx |
Component Name | View the name of the component through which the settings are configured. The components that are currently supported are:
Example: JUNOS |
Hide | Displays whether the template is hidden on Customer Portal.
Example: false |
Table 3: Fields on the Add New Template Page
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Template | Select the configuration template from the drop-down list. The configuration templates are designed in the Configuration Designer tool. Example:srx-basic-sdwan-cpe-config |
Display Name | Specify the name of the template that you want to display on the configuration interface. Example: SDWAN Config |
Component Name | Specify the component name through which the settings are configured. The components that are currently supported are:
Example: JUNOS |
Hide | Specify whether you want to hide the configuration template on Customer Portal. You might want to choose to hide the template if you are reusing the template for multiple components.
Example: hide |
Copy From Template | If you have chosen to hide the configuration template on the user interface, then specify the template from which you want to copy the settings. Example: srx-mis-lan-to-wan-config |
To remove a stage-2 configuration template:
- Select Resources > Device Templates.
The Device Templates page appears.
- Select the device template for which you want to remove
the stage-2 configuration and then select Edit Device Template
> Stage-2 Config Templates.
The Stage-2 Config Templates page appears.
- Select a configuration template and click the delete icon
(X).
A page requesting confirmation for the deletion appears.
- Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete
the stage-2 configuration template.
The configuration template is deleted.
Configuring Stage-2 Initial Configuration
In general, the tenant administrators initiate stage-2 configuration through Customer Portal. However, in certain cases, the same stage-2 configuration needs to be deployed to CPE devices in all sites that are activated using a specific device template. In such cases, you can attach an initial configuration to a stage-2 config template of a device template. When a new CPE device in the site is activated using the device template, the initial configuration is automatically deployed to the CPE device.
The list of initial configurations that are supported are:
- Policies configuration
- LAN configuration
- SD-WAN configuration
- Routing configuration
To update an initial configuration for stage-2 configuration template:
- Select Resources > Device Templates.
The Device Templates page appears.
- Select the device template for which you want to configure
the stage-2 configuration and then select Edit Device Template
> Stage-2 Initial Config.
The Stage-2 Initial Configuration page appears, listing the existing settings.
- Complete the configuration settings according to the guidelines provided in Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6.
- Click Ok.
