Associating Profiles
Profiles are identified during the autodiscovery of a device. When the device being mapped has a profile on it with a name that matches a profile defined in the application, an association is created. If the profile names do not match, a new profile is saved in the database with the same name. This new profile can be associated with any device being discovered, as long as the profile is not "locally scoped."
For static PPP interfaces, you can assign a profile only for IP encapsulations. If a PPP interface has a profile associated with it, you cannot create an IP interface on top of that PPP interface.
Before you can associate a profile with an interface, you must first create a profile.
Associating a Profile with a PPP Interface
To associate or change the association of a profile with a PPP interface:
- Select the PPP interface with which you want to associate a profile, right-click, and click Configure.
The PPP Intf Configuration tab appears.
 |
NOTE: You can also make this association when you create the PPP interface. |
The Associate Profile dialog box appears.
- Select a profile from the list.
- (Optional) Click View to verify that the profile is the one you want.
- Click OK.
The profile name is added to the Profile field.
The PPP interface is now associated with the profile.
Associating a Profile with an ATM 1483 Subinterface
To associate or change the association of a profile with an ATM 1483 subinterface:
- Select the ATM subinterface with which you want to associate a profile, right-click, and click Configure.
The ATM Sub Interface Configuration tab appears.
- Click
to the right of a Profile Name field for the encapsulation type to which you want to assign a profile.
The Associate Profile dialog box is displayed.
- Select a profile from the list.
- (Optional) Click View to verify that the profile is the one you want.
- Click OK in the Associate Profile dialog box.
