Using variables with WhatsConfigured templates

Templates allow network admins to automatically push device configurations to devices of the same type by replacing device-specific (IP address, hostname) information with variables, saving them time and reducing the possibility of error from one manual device configuration to another.

Note: The values of these variables are read-only and cannot be modified by scripts, though scripts are free to reference their values.
