Templates for the WIN! - Modern Config Mgmt w/ CatCenter Templates *LAB DAY*

If you’ve ever needed to make a “simple” network change — new AAA servers, syslog updates, DNS changes, or compliance tweaks — and worried about consistency, drift, or breaking something, this LAB DAY is for you!

In this MN Bytes & Brews session, we’ll focus on how Catalyst Center Templates help IT teams make network operations easier, safer, and more compliant — without relying on one‑off CLI changes.

This includes a hands‑on, real‑world session, not just a slide deck.

Why Templates? Because modern networks require:
✅ Consistent configurations across many sites
✅ Safe, repeatable changes
✅ Reduced risk from manual CLI work
✅ Better compliance and auditability

"Catalyst Center provides the automation, and the templates are the foundation."

What we'll cover:

• Practical use cases
• Day-0 vs Day-N templates
• Prerequisites that matter
• How CatC leverages templates
• Live demo with BYO-Lab follow-along!

Who should attend?

• Anyone who works with Catalyst Center
• K-12, Higher-Ed, and local Government IT teams
• Engineers, Admins, Supervisors and Directors
