Appendix B Working with Templates and Data Files
Using Templates with Service Requests
• This features is not applicable for device roles other than U-PE and PE-AGG. In Figure B-7 the
N-PE role only displays a single Add link in the Template/Data File column.
• For backward compatibility, when editing or viewing old and existing policies, for U-PE and
PE-AGG devices, associated templates/data files will display under the All other Devices option.
• When you copy an existing policy, you can copy associated templates/data files (if any) from the All
other Devices or Devices with UNI options of the existing policy into the new policy. This is similar
to normal ISC behavior.
• You can associate templates (without data files) for either the All other Devices or Devices with UNI
options or both.
• Selective determination of templates is supported in all L2VPN and FlexUNI/EVC policy types and
service requests. For MPLS VPN, only MPLS PE-CE and MPLS PE-NoCE policies and service
requests are supported. For the MPLS VPN PE-CE policy type, this feature is applicable if the PE
is or is not associated with an NPC.This feature is not available for Multi-VRFCE policies and
service requests.
The following notes describe how this feature is supported in the service request workflow:
• During service request creation, selective templates are differentiated based on the devices having a
UNI interface or having both UNI and NNI interfaces for the U-PE and PE-AGG device roles.
Templates in the policy are copied to the respective devices functioning in the specified roles. There
is no behavioral change for devices of other roles.
• The selective determination of templates is not applicable for service request modification
scenarios, as after the service request is created, it is the user’s decision to make any changes for
templates configured on devices.
