The port-template command hierarchy allows the creation of a satellite template that reconfigures the port role and uplink association for one or more satellite ports. This template can then be applied to one or more Ethernet satellite instances, in which case those satellites inherit the specified port role and uplink associations.
The port template is necessary when reconfiguring a satellite uplink as a client port for use as part of a local-forward bypass path. Use the following command to create satellite templates:
