Resolution
A configuration template can be considered as a configuration update file for an Access Point (AP). This file might contain the update for only one parameter or a complete AP configuration.
Templates for non-Cisco IOS APs are stored internally as files in the .ini format that is understood by the APs. Cisco IOS-based templates are stored as text files containing Cisco IOS commands.
Select Configure > Templates in these instances:
- To ceate a configuration template.
- To import templates directly from devices and export them to files.
- To convert non-Cisco IOS templates to Cisco IOS-based templates.
For more information on Configuration Template, refer to Using IOS Templates.
