Add a New CLI Profile

Using ADSP, you can create and update device configurations by revising the configuration files and their CLI command set. You can use the default CLI profiles (configuration templates) or change the profiles to meet the configuration requirements of your devices. This allows you to apply profiles to any or all of the devices in your network. Devices are typically APs and switches.

To create a new profile:

  1. Select one of the supported CLI configurations from the CLI Configuration drop-down menu.

    The selected profile is accessed.

    You can reduce the list of supported devices to only the devices in your system by selecting the Only show device type in system checkbox.
  2. If you want to add a new profile at the appliance level, select the appliance level and then select the Enable configuration checkbox. If you want to add a new profile at a lower network level, select the appropriate level and then select the Override settings radio button.
  3. Click New Template. The template for the selected CLI Profile is displayed.

    In the following image, the AP7131 template is displayed.

  4. Enter a name for the profile.
  5. Decide if you want to reboot the device and write configuration updates to the startup configuration, or not reboot and write configuration updates to the running configuration. Then, select the radio button reflecting your choice.
  6. Update the CLI commands to match your criteria.
  7. Click Save.

    The profile name is added to the list of profiles for that network level and that device type. Now, you can select it and apply it to a network level in your system.

    Once you add a profile, you can copy, edit, or delete it by highlighting the profile and clicking the appropriate link (right side of profile). You can also copy the profile to all your other appliances using the Copy settings to all appliances button if you have a Central Management license and have added the appliance to your network (Menu > Add Devices).
