Symptoms

I am unable to find the template - SRX_Advanced_SDWAN_HUB_option_1 under Resources > Device Templates. Where can I find SRX_Advanced_SDWAN_HUB_option_1?

 

Solution

A device template contains configuration and provisioning instructions for a physical device that you manage through Contrail Service Orchestration (CSO). For more information about Device Templates, refer to About the Device Template Page .

Each template contains Name and Internal Name.

  • Name: Display name of the device templates for users

  • Internal Name: Name of the templates used by CSO components for internal communication. Each Internal Name has a mapping to Name for user convenience.

However, the Internal Name column is not enabled by default.

  • To enable the Internal Name of the template so that it is seen, add the column from the Admin Portal > Resources > Device Templates > Show Hide Columns > Select the check box for Internal Name.
