Changes via Network Templates

My customer has numerous Networks, all provisioned and maintained via Network Templates. There are configurable items within a Network, some of which are hidden when a Network is maintained by a Network Template, and some that are not hidden. An example of a configurable item that is not hidden would be the VLAN tag on a switchport. When we change the VLAN tag on a switchport, the association of Network to Network Template is not affected.

 

If we now make an unrelated change to the Network Template, what change gets cascaded to the Networks being maintained by that Network Template? Is it only the change that has been made to the Network Template, which means we would retain the change of VLAN tag on the switchport, or is the Network Template in its entirety reapplied to the Network, which means we would lose the change of VLAN tag on the switchport?

perfect, thank you Ryan

"Once a network has been bound to a template, some options can still be configured normally. Any local configuration changes made directly on the network will override the template configuration. Note: Updating the same options on the template will not clear a network’s local overrides. To clear local overrides, the network needs to be unbound and rebound to the template"
