Resolution

The following are conventions for naming template files (NCM 7.3.2 and older), or files used for importing templates using Web Console (NCM 7.4 and newer). File name shall be constructed as below example:

TEMPLATE_NAME-OID.ConfigMgmt-Commands

For example:

TEMPLATE_NAME = F5 Template A

OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375 (this value is obtained through SNMP from sysObjectID / 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0)

file name = F5 Template A-1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.ConfigMgmt-Commands
