deploy a template to update domain name of all hostnames

[josephbdelossantos]

Hi

Is it possible to deploy a template to update all domain hostnames of all Cisco devices?

i.e. current are 

hostname.domain.net

need to change to: hostname.domain.intranet

thanks!

yeah, I guess its just template hub with ip domain command.. works now! is there a way to expand the template to deploy

"ip domain name WORD" command to IOS devices and "IP DOMAIN-NAME  word" for nexus switches on the same template?

i.e. if DNA sees what platform it is it deploys the correct ip domain name syntax?

thanks!

 I believe so but it is necessary to check the NX-OS version.

@josephbdelossantos This is a good excuse to use the builtin system variables (see the System Variables assistant in the template editor).  If you are using VTL, it might be something like:

#if ($__device.platformId.contains("N7"))
Do nexus stuff

#else

Do IOS stuff

#end

Keep in mind that Cat Center supports a limited number of Nexus platforms though.

you are required to choose a software type and I don't see you can choose both IOS and NX-OS , how will this builtin system variables work? currently this is what I made using system variables assistant

#if ($__device.series.contains("Data Center Switches"))
ip domain-name XXXXXX

#else

ip domain name YYYYY

#end

That's a good point.  I didn't think that far ahead.  Why not just set the domain in Design->Network Settings.  Then you don't need a template at all.  Cat Center will know the necessary command for IOS vs NXOS.
