Profile Management Configuration and Deployment Considerations

Before defining a profile's management configuration, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the profile configuration is optimally effective:

• Set profile management access configurations that provide both encryption and authentication. Management services like HTTPS, SSH and SNMPv3 should be used when possible, as they provide data privacy and authentication.

• SNMPv3 should be used for management profile configurations, as it provides both encryption and authentication.
