1. A system for configuring a device, comprising: a memory device to store a plurality of templates, the templates including parameter values for the device; and a processor to: prioritize the templates, a parameter value associated with a higher priority one of the templates overriding a parameter value associated with a lower priority one of the templates, configure the device based on the parameter values in the templates and the priorities of the templates, import configuration information from the device, determine whether a device value in the imported configuration information equals a parameter value in one of the templates, remove, when the device value in the imported configuration information equals the parameter value in the template, the device value from the imported configuration information to form modified configuration information, determine whether a connection exists with the device, and forward, when the connection exists, the modified configuration information to the device.
