InJuniper Mist AI for Wired, configuration templates are a foundational part ofswitch onboarding and management. The primary purpose of these templates is to ensure configuration consistency across all switches that belong to a specific site or organization.
“Switch configuration templates allow administrators to define a standard configuration that is automatically applied to all switches within a site or organization, ensuring consistency and reducing configuration errors.”
Templates can contain base configuration parameters such as NTP, syslog, VLANs, port profiles, and authentication settings. When new switches are onboarded to the Mist Cloud, they automatically inherit the template’s configuration, ensuring uniform behavior across the network fabric.
Option Ais incorrect — templates do not directly impact hardware performance.
Option Bis incorrect — templates are not related to upgrade times.
Option Cis incorrect — templates are used for uniformity, not for switch-specific changes.
Option Dcorrectly describes their main benefit —ensuring consistent configuration across all switches.
