Usage
Use the configuration merge command to deploy a network of appliances. Set up a template for your appliance and merge the template with each appliance in the network.
The following configuration settings are not merged when you run the configuration merge command: failover settings, SNMP SysContact and SysLocation, alarm settings, CLI settings, and all network settings (for example, hostname, auxiliary interface, DNS settings, defined hosts, static routing, and in-path routing).
The following configuration settings are merged when you run the configuration merge command: in-path, out-of-path, log settings, protocols, statistics, email, NTP and time, web, and SNMP.
To merge a configuration file, run the following set of commands:
configuration write to <new-config-name>
;; this saves the current config to the new name and activates
;; the new configuration
configuration fetch <url-to-remote-config> <temp-config-name>
;; this fetches the configuration from the remote
configuration merge <temp-config-name>
;; this merges the fetched config into the active configuration
;; which is the newly named/created one in step 1 above
configuration delete <temp-config-name>
;; this deletes the fetched configuration as it is no longer
;; needed since you merged it into the active configuration
Example
amnesiac (config) # configuration merge tempconfig
