attach and detach a device template

[**Hamid**]

I am reading about device templates and there is a one issue that I could not find in Cisco documentations.

If I detach a device template from a device, the device will retain its configurations or the configurations will clear ?

I think the device configuration will retain, but I did not find a reference on Cisco documentations.

Hi,

this is what is written during detachment :

"Some of the devices are running Cloud onRamp for SaaS. If they are changed to CLI mode, subsequent Cloud onRamp for SaaS application changes made from vManage will not take effect?"

After actual detachment, most configuration retain (vrf, interfaces, security configuration, policy etc.)

Thanks for your answer, can please you tell me what configurations will not retain after detachment.

This is what vManage tells while detaching:

"Some of the devices are running Cloud onRamp for SaaS. If they are changed to CLI mode, subsequent Cloud onRamp for SaaS application changes made from vManage will not take effect?"

And most probably if there is something else, it will also warn.

Normal configuration, which you pushed directly via Device template, retain.
