PROVISIONING TEMPLATES:
                                          
The Provisioning Templates are XML documents that have parameterized provisioning profiles for configuring multiple devices in the network. Using these templates, the operator can provide necessary parameters during the provisioning operation.  The templates also contain information for automatically rendering the forms that request these parameters from the operator during provisioning. 


The files Template.dtd, Task.dtd and TemplateResult.dtd give you an idea of how templates can be defined.


The file OpenTemplate.sh or OpenTemplate.bat is used to run the template examples.

The templates empty.xml, form_only.xml, inv_form.xml, inv_ne_form.xml, inv_ne_form_config.xml, inv_ne_form_config_update.xml are simple example templates. These show you how Provisioning templates are built, in a step by step manner. A detailed explanation of how to execute them can be had from the Help documentation.

 
The templates ATM_Virtual_Connection.xml, ImageTransfer.xml, RouterConfiguration.xml, TL1Configuration.xml and CrossConnect.xml are realtime example templates. More details about these can be had from the Provisioning Tutorial. 

The templates interface_template.xml, snmpnode_template.xml and ImageTransfer.xml can be invoked from the client. 

For provisioning, RouterConfiguration.xml uses Telnet protocol, ImageTransfer.xml uses Tftp, TL1Configuration.xml and CrossConnect.xml use TL1
