6.3.4 Etherlike Profile for SBx3100 Ports Includes Port Authentication
For ports on the SBx3100, there is also the Port Authentication feature. Refer to 13.19.
6.4 Viewing and Modifying Profiles
To view profiles, in the Network Objects panel, select Network Service Data > Profiles to open the Profiles screen.
The profiles can be viewed like other attributes, so they can be sorted, scrolled, and have a search function.
To view or modify the details of the profile, the user can right click the profile and select View Profile, or double-click the
profile. The Modify Profile box appears, and when the user changes any parameter the Modify button is activated.
Note: At this point, the profiles have not been deployed, and so changing any values has no effect on what parameter values are
actually used on any devices or ports. The relationship between deployed profiles and the changing of parameter values is
discussed later.
Note: Creating and deploying profiles for the EPON and ONU requires particular attention since the user must understand the
attributes of the EPON and ONU interface policies.
6.5 Deleting a Profile
The user can delete a profile if it is not being used (deployed) on a device or port. To delete a profile, right click on the
profile and select Delete Profile. A confirmation window confirms the deletion.
Note: This operation will fail if there are any objects (devices or ports) in the network that are currently using one of the profiles to
be deleted. If there are objects currently using one of the profiles, the user can apply some other Profile (such as a default
profile) to those objects and then successfully delete the profile.
6.6 Deploying a Profile
To deploy a profile means to apply the configuration values assigned in a Profile to a set of objects (devices or ports) in the
network.
Note: The set of objects on which to apply the Profile must be of the same type as the Profile.
When Device profiles are applied to devices, the device selection mechanism will provide for:
• Applying the Device Profile to a selected list of devices
• Applying the Device Profile to all devices that are currently using a particular Device Profile
• Applying the Device Profile to all devices in a particular network/sub-network.
When Port Profiles are applied to ports, the ports selected can be across multiple different device types. The user can
therefore:
• Apply the Port Profile to all ports (of the correct type) on a selected list of devices
• Apply the Port Profile to ports (of the correct type) on a selected list of devices that are currently using a particular Port
Profile.
• Apply the Port Profile to all ports (of the correct type) on all devices that are currently using a particular Port Profile.
• Apply the Port Profile to a selected set of ports (of the correct type) on selected devices where the set of ports can be
different for each of the selected devices.
• Apply the Port Profile to all ports (of the correct type) on the selected list of devices that are not currently configured to
use a profile (or are using the default profile).
• Apply the Port Profile to the Auto provisioning profile of a device.
