Override a Template Value Using a Template Stack

How to use a template stack to override a configuration setting pushed to the firewall from a template.

You can use template stack values to override configurations pushed to the managed firewall from a template to create a template stack configuration that you can use to manage the base configuration of your managed firewalls from Panorama™. This enables you to leverage the management capabilities of Panorama to push configuration changes to multiple devices from a single location. In this example, you will use a template stack to override the Primary DNS server IP address variable called $DNS that was pushed from a template.

Panorama supports using a template stack to override interfaces configured in a template except for Layer2 sub-interfaces of an aggregated interface.

Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.
From the Template drop-down, select the template stack that will override the template configuration.
Override the pushed template configuration.
1. Select DeviceSetupServices and edit the Services section.
