All profiles have the following restrictions:
Maximum 5000 characters in a profile.
Maximum 128 profiles on a switch.
Profiles are stored as part of the switch configuration file.
Copy and paste is the only method to transfer profile data using the CLI.
Unless explicitly preceded with the command configure cli mode persistent, all non-persistent-capable commands operate in non-persistent mode when operating in dynamic profiles.
Unless explicitly preceded with the command configure cli mode non-persistent, all non-persistent-capable commands operate in persistent mode when operating in static profiles.
Note
There is no profile hierarchy, which means users must verify there are no conflicting rules in static and dynamic profiles. This is a normal requirement for ACLs, and is standard when using policy files or dynamic ACLs.
When the switch is configured to allow non-persistent-capable commands to operate in non-persistent mode, the switch configuration can rollback to the configuration that preceded the entry of the non-persistent-capable commands. This rollback behavior enables ports to return to their initial state when a reboot or power cycle occurs.
