Creating and Modifying Profiles
Creating and Modifying Profiles
A new profile is created with the set user command. When you create a new profile, you automatically enter profile mode for that profile. The following example creates a user profile called tomd. Enter the set user command to create a profile using the profile template for the default values of the parameters, as follows:
Host> set user tomd
Host:tomd>
Notice that the profile mode is indicated by the prompt, which appears as the system name and the profile name, separated by a colon. While this prompt is displayed, modifications to the parameters only affect the parameters in the profile. The changes do not affect system mode parameters or other profiles.
The cd command is used to change to system mode or to another profile. Following is an example of the cd command used to change to a permanent profile called LAN:
Router_name> cd LAN
Router_name:LAN>
Note that the prompt includes the name of the profile. You can now modify the LAN profile parameters.
Displaying Profile Configurations
The show commands display the values associated with a profile parameter in profile mode. The commands work in system mode to show the values associated with parameters in the profile template.
In profile mode, some show commands only display profile parameters. Parameter values that have been redefined in profile mode are indicated with a <*>. All other parameter values are inherited from the profile template.
Removing Profile-Based Values
You can remove any parameter value within a profile with the unset command. The parameter you removed inherits its value from the system mode.
