This example shows how to enter port profile configuration mode and enable the port profile:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# port-profile type ethernet test switch(config-port-prof)# state enabled switch(config-port-prof)#

Inheriting a Port Profile

You can inherit a port profile onto an existing port profile. The switch supports four levels of inheritance.

Procedure

	Command or Action
Step 1	configure terminal

Example:

switch# configure terminal switch(config)#

Step 2 port-profile name

Example:

switch(config)# port-profile test switch(config-port-prof)#

Step 3 inherit port-profile name

Example:

switch(config-port-prof)# inherit port-profile adam switch(config-port-prof)#

Purpose

Enters configuration mode.

Enters port profile configuration mode for the specified port profile.

Inherits another port profile onto the existing one. The original port profile assumes all the configurations of the inherited port profile.

Step 4	exit	Exits the port profile configuration mode.
	Example:
	switch(config-port-prof)# exit
	switch(config)#
Step 5	show port-profile	(Optional)
		Displays the port profile configuration.
	Example:
	switch(config)# show port-profile name

Step 6 copy running-config startup-config

Example:

switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional)

Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.

This example shows how to inherit the port profile named adam onto the port profile named test:

switch# configure terminal switch(config)# port-profile test switch(config-ppm)# inherit port-profile adam switch(config-ppm)#
