Profiles and Use commands
Profiles
Profiles provide configuration shortcuts. They contain specific settings that can be used in multiple contexts,
interfaces, or gateways. This concept allows to avoid repetitions of groups of configuration commands that are
the same for multiple elements in a configuration.
Profiles used in the IP and CS contexts are shown in figure 5 on page 45.
Use Commands
Use commands form the association between profiles and contexts, gateways, or interfaces. For example, when
a profile is used in a context, all the configuration settings in that profile become active within the context.
