Examples
Export a device's configuration as a JSON template, the starting point for config-as-code:
bb-eco template export 192.168.1.107 es-522-baseline.json
Template exported to es-522-baseline.json
Family: ES
Model: ES-522
The exported file records the device family, compatible model, and every configurable section, grouped the way the device's own web page groups them (device, network, serial ports for ES, IO for ED; security only when asked for). See the template format for every key, and example exports for each model. Commit it to version control as the device's baseline, then track changes with template diff and enforce it with template apply.
Include the security section (usernames, MAC filters and authentication; it is left out by default, and passwords are never exported):
bb-eco template export 192.168.1.107 es-522-baseline.json --include-security
Exclude the network section so the same template can be applied to devices with different IP addresses:
bb-eco template export 192.168.1.107 es-522-fleet.json --exclude-network
