interface templates

[Bthene]

How come you cant put no cdp enable or no snmp trap link-status/no logging event link-status on a interface template ?

Is there any smarter way of achieveing this?

Switch(config)#template ?

Hi

I think template interface can be used to apply specific command lines under the interfaces on a switch, a long time ago I remember have used macros to apply changes to specific interface on a switch, the following link could be useful:

Hope it is useful

Hi

I ran into this issue as well - I could configure IP source guard in an interface template with a 6807 but not on a 3650. A workaround for me was to apply interface templates using a Prime Infrastructure cli template. The cli template applies the interface template as well as the other commands not supported by the interface template.
