Features limitation with Template

Hi, 

Anyone came across a list of features that is not compatible with template?

 

We start questioning the use of templates and if we would be better off with a tool like Bondless Digital to manage our devices.

 

Thanks,

Steve

Kind of a big deal

Hi,

 

- Configuration templates cannot be used on networks with Systems Manager.


- Templates are less effective if your networks have significant variations. Some settings can be overridden per site, but extensive differences can be challenging.


- All networks tied to a template must run the same firmware version. Updating the firmware on the template applies it to all attached networks.

 

- When binding a template, local settings like IP addresses and DHCP configurations can be lost unless specifically preserved.
