Configuration Concepts
4.4 Profiles and Use commands
4.4.1 Profiles
Profiles provide configuration shortcuts. They contain specific settings which 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.
Figure 4-1 shows profiles that are used in the IP and CS contexts.
4.4.2 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.
