Introduction Custom Profiles
Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches (Setting Up the Switch)

One of the main change to existing commands is that the SHOW PROFILE NAMES command has changed to
SHOW PROFILE=name for card and port types.
The set of commands used to create, change, and destroy profiles is not that large; however, for each type
there are different parameters since each type has different attributes.
1.17 Configuring a User Profile
1.17.1 Default Configuration
When an SBx3112 switch is initially booted up, Profiles will be configured as follows:
• All card profiles are set to AUTOPROV
• ALL port profiles are set to AUTOPROV
1.17.2 Configuration Guidelines
Any profiles that are created, changed, or destroyed, are persistent; this means the following:
• Reboot - Any changes made to profiles survive a system reboot
• Redundancy - The profile settings are mirrored in both CFCs, and so survive an activity switch.
• Upgrade - The profile settings survive over an upgrade (not relevant for release 6.0).
Note: Although the user can SET a Profile, this does not mean that profile can be applied successfully.
General checks are done on the profile, but some checks cannot be done until the user tries to apply
the profile to an entity.
To associate an interface with a profile, the interface must be disabled.
