Enforcing a Configuration Template

When a template is enforced, all the instances (created before or after enforcement) will adhere to the enforcement settings. When an instance is enforced, the configuration service blocks direct changes from the MSP EC tenants while only allowing template synchronization from the MSP tenant.

Note: The enforcement setting is supported only for the Wi-Fi Network configuration template.
Complete the following steps to enable the enforcement setting for a configuration template.
  1. From the navigation bar, select Templates.
  2. In the Configuration Templates page, configure the enforcement setting while adding a new configuration template or editing an existing one:
    • Click Add Template and then select Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Network.
    • Click the radio button for a specific Wi-Fi network configuration template and then click Edit.
  3. Enable enforcement. On the first page of the Create New/Edit Network Template wizard, toggle on the Enforce template configuration option. When enabled, all direct changes by the MSP EC on elements that are template-configured will be blocked, thereby enforcing compliance with the template configuration.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete creating the configuration template.
  5. Check the MSP EC tenant for the instance created by this template.

    The Apply button in the Edit Network instance and the Delete option from the Wi-Fi Network List page will be disabled and greyed out due to enforcement from the configuration template.

In the Configuration Templates page, use the Enforcement drop-down menu or column to filter or organize, respectively, the list of templates by enforcement status (Enforced or Not Enforced).
