While
Templates
and Template Stacks enable you to apply a base configuration
to multiple firewalls, you might want to configure firewall-specific
settings that don’t apply to all the firewalls in a template or
template stack. Conversely, you may want to override the template
settings to create a template stack configuration that you can apply as a
base configuration to all your managed firewalls. Overrides allow
for exceptions or modifications to meet your configuration needs.
For example, if you use a template to create a base configuration
but a few firewalls in a test lab environment need different settings
for the Domain Name System (DNS) server IP address or the Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server, you can override the template and template
stack settings.
