Categories🔗

Routes

Templates for controlling routing behavior, including route maps for policy-based routing decisions, AS path filtering for BGP route selection, and community-based route tagging and filtering policies.

ACLs

Access control list templates for policy-based routing decisions and port-level traffic filtering, defining which traffic flows are permitted or denied based on specified criteria.

Filters

Network prefix and address filtering templates for both IPv4 and IPv6, used to control route advertisements, traffic matching, and network access at the IP layer.

Layer-3

Network layer templates defining gateway configurations and site-level routing policies that control how traffic is forwarded between network segments.

Layer-2

Data link layer templates for Ethernet port configurations and quality-of-service packet queue management, controlling how frames are processed and prioritized.

Layer-1

Physical layer templates defining Ethernet port physical characteristics and SFP module breakout configurations for high-speed interfaces.

Systems

Device-level configuration templates that define system-wide settings applicable across network devices.

Alarms

Monitoring and alerting templates that establish threshold values, organize thresholds into logical groups, and define rules for classifying alarm conditions.

Diagnostics

Network troubleshooting and monitoring templates for diagnostic operations, port-level diagnostics, sFlow traffic sampling configurations, and packet broker egress policies.
