Chapter 28 Working with Configuration Files
Working with Profile Files
If you choose to create the profile files by editing a system-generated configuration file, most of the
required notations will already be in the file. The keywords that are currently supported are
ALL_MODULES, ALL_PORTS, ALL_MODULE_PORTS, and ALL_VLANS. Do not create a profile
file using the output that results from entering the
copy config all
command as a template because the
output includes default configuration information, which increases the size and processing time of the
file.
To designate the system profile file that you want to use, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to designate the device name and the profile filename:
Console> (enable)
set system profile bootflash:test.cfg
System is set to be configured with profile file bootflash:test.cfg.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to disable the system profile loading on a specified module:
Console> (enable)
set system profile disable 2
System profile loading is disabled for module 2.
Console> (enable)
This example shows a sample lockdown profile file. You can use an exact copy of this file if you want
to use what would be considered a typical lockdown profile file as your default configuration. You can
also change the file and use the altered version of the file if the parameters of this lockdown profile file
does not meet your needs.
