    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.
    1. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.
    2. From the Template drop-down, select the template stack that will override the template configuration.
    3. Override the pushed template configuration.
      1. Select DeviceSetupServices and edit the Services section.
      2. Configure the Primary DNS with the IP address to override the pushed template configuration and click OK.
    4. Commit and Push the configuration change.
