Override a Template or Template Stack Value
Table of Contents
While Templates and Template Stacks (/content/techdocs/en_US/panorama/10-1/panorama-admin/panorama-
overview/centralized-firewall-configuration-and-update-management/[Link]#id4ff18f85-
9f4f-48fe-b6f9-e4b52a139d95) 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.
If you want to disable or remove all the template or stack settings on a firewall instead of overriding a single value,
see Disable/Remove Template Settings (/content/techdocs/en_US/panorama/10-1/panorama-admin/manage-
firewalls/manage-templates-and-template-stacks/[Link]#id7020f757-0942-
4f0c-a671-6f1ac7412968).
You can override a template or template stack value in one of the following ways:
Override a Template Value on the Firewall (/content/techdocs/en_US/panorama/10-1/panorama-admin/manage-
firewalls/manage-templates-and-template-stacks/override-a-template-setting/override-a-template-setting-on-the-
[Link]#ide5568c88-171b-4cc7-a9d9-b42bd5792ed9) or Override a Template or Template Stack Value Using
Variables (/content/techdocs/en_US/panorama/10-1/panorama-admin/manage-firewalls/manage-templates-and-
template-stacks/override-a-template-setting/[Link]#id17B2D6070J3)—
There are two ways to override values pushed from a template or template stack. The first is to define a value locally on
the firewall to override a value pushed from a template or template stack. The second is to define firewall-specific
variables to override values pushed from a template or template stack.
Override a Template Value Using a Template Stack (/content/techdocs/en_US/panorama/10-1/panorama-
admin/manage-firewalls/manage-templates-and-template-stacks/override-a-template-setting/override-template-setting-
[Link]#id17CEB0C004L)—Define values or variables on the template stack to override
values pushed from a template.
