Select the type of template you want to create from the Template Type list. Template type options
include File, Segment and CLI Script.
A file template type creates an entire configuration file that is then applied to the device by using
the deployment option.
A segment template type creates only a portion of a configuration field, which is then applied to
the device. For example, if your organization uses SNMP community strings that vary by location,

you can create a configuration file by using a segment template type for just the SNMP community

string configuration for each location and then deploy that configuration template to devices by
location.
A CLI script template type creates a CLI configuration file, which is then applied to the device
through telnet.
