    Hi,

    I have a bit of a strange issue. For example a if statement within a vlan is not problem, they all work. For example like this:

    vlan 9
   name "JFH_WIFI_GUEST"
   tagged %_uplink_%
   %if _AcessPoint_%
   tagged %_AcessPoint_%
   %endif%
   no ip address
   exit



    However this is just ignored (yes port is assigned in variables) with no errors

    %if _IOT_devices_%
vlan 8
	name "IOT"
	tagged %_uplink_%
	untagged %_IOT_devices_%
	no ip address
	exit
%endif%



    And this is working:

    %if _workstations_%
vlan 10
   name "JFH_Workstations"
   tagged %_uplink_%
   %if _workstations_%
   untagged %_workstations_%
   %endif%
   %if _AcessPoint_%
   untagged %_AcessPoint_%
   %endif%
   no ip address
   exit
%endif%



    But this is also just ignored

    %if _ESX_host_%
vlan 15
    name servers
	tagged %_uplink_%,%_ESX_host_%
	no ip address
    exit
vlan 18
	name "DC LAN"
	tagged %_uplink_%,%_ESX_host_%
	no ip address
    exit
vlan 35
	name "Mgmt Server"
	tagged %_uplink_%,%_ESX_host_%
	ip address dhcp-bootp
	exit
%endif%



    I get no template errors, and the config is pushes without them. If i move the if/endif to within the vlans it works just fine, but then i get lots of empty vlans on switches that dont need them. whats going on here?

    Here is the full template im testing with now. All is working well except this weird issue of ignoring the if statements.

    %_sys_template_header%
hostname "%_sys_hostname%"

%if _IS_STACK=0%

    I think i have partly figured it out. Seems like in some cases the variables are not applied when i edit it in batch. Multiple entries (Yes Modified =Y) some times they are ignored. I went into each switch indiviually to add the variables by grabbing the CSV from switch context instead of group context. But its weird:

    - IF i download the variables file from the TG, i can see the variables are set, but ignored in config,.
    -IF i download the variables file from switch context, the variables that was present on the same switch in the main file was simply missing. Had to add the column and re-upload.

    Ive seen this before a few times on my test switches that has ran other templates.

    "Never before seen" switches seem to pick up all the variables.

    Interesting ... If the variables are showing in the switch template group but not in the device context, I would suggest opening a case with TAC to investigate. 

    Is this by chance a switch stack that you're working with?
