Aruba Central (on-premises) allows you to provision devices using UI-based or template-based configuration method. If you have groups with template-based configuration enabled, you can create a template with a common set of CLI scripts, configuration commands, and variables. Using templates, you can apply CLI-based configuration parameters to multiple devices in a group.
