For a CX VSF Stack, I am trying to pass a variable that includes interface #'s . This is to apply a switchport configuration to Misc. ports across the entire stack.  I cannot get this to work. For a simplified example... 

Template:

  interface %data%
    no shutdown 
    no routing
    vlan access 10

In my Variable Files, I have two separate lines. 1 line for each switch in the stack. I have omitted all the variables that work and just include relevant var's for this example:

Switch 1 will apply the config to port 1/1/3 but Switch 2 will not apply port config. Acts like it does not exists. I assume because it is part of a stack and relies on the Conductor (switch1)  to configure it. So,.... maybe I put that interface into the Switch 1 variable field??...

If I try this...

Switch 1 fails it sync Pre-Check and does not pull down the config at all. Central Audit Log tells me it is an invalidd config. 

How do I get a port on Switch two to take a port config? - Without manually specifying the interface in the template. 

In case of a stack, all the variables needs to be applied on the conductor. Best to apply ALL the variables on both the conductor and standby conductor in case of failover. Just try something like this

I prefer to use a different kind of style in the template. Something like this

interface 1/1/3
   %if interface.1.1.3.admin=1%
    vlan access 20
   %else
    vlan access 10
   %endif%

interface 2/1/3
   %if interface.2.1.3.admin=1%
    vlan access 20
   %else
    vlan access 10
   %endif%

I figured that was going to be the answer. Bummer.  I am working on migrating a customer from approx 70 Cisco switches with 30 VLANs spread across various ports. It is east to copy/paste all the Interfaces for a specific VLAN but not so easy to do the other way around.  So for example port 1/1/1 on each switch may be on a different VLAN. Repeat for the rest of the 48 ports.. for each switch.

That is not how the templates works. ClearPass can be ideal for that question (colourless ports).

Other option is the interface profiles that with have with MultiEdit. This is a kind off template that easily can be applied on a range off interfaces.
