Apply a CLI Profile

Once you have defined a CLI profile for your device(s), you can now apply it to the device(s) in your network. A CLI profile can be applied to an appliance and all its network levels or it can be applied to a single network level. Any child network level automatically inherits the parent's CLI profile.

A good practice is to apply a CLI profile to the appliance level. This profile should be generic as possible to fit a wide range of devices in your network. Then, if you have any special considerations, apply CLI profiles to individual network levels that must meet your predefined special configurations.

To apply a CLI profile, follow these steps:

Select one of the supported CLI configurations from the CLI Configuration drop-down menu. Profiles for the selected device are displayed in the list of templates.
To apply a profile:
- To apply a profile at the appliance level in the configuration column and then select the Enable configuration checkbox.
- To apply a profile at a lower network level (such as Region), select the appropriate level and select the Override settings radio button.
- To inherit settings, select the Inherit settings radio button and select the appropriate appliance.
Select the profile from the list of profiles.
Click Apply to save the configuration. A confirmation dialog is displayed.
