6.10.6 Redeploying a Profile
There are times when a user needs to re-synchronize the parameters stored in the Profile on the NMS with the
configuration of the actual devices or ports in the network. This could be needed after a change is made to the Profile, or
when the user wants to reset any temporary changes made to individual ports in the network back to the Profile
configuration. To re-apply or re-deploy a profile to the network, follow these steps:
1. Bring up the Profile Deployment window for a device or port.
2. To re-deploy Port Profiles select Apply to ports with Profile port selection method.
3. To re-deploy Device Profiles select Apply to devices with Profile device selection method.
4. Select the current profile.
5. Press the Deploy button.
6. The NMS will start a Task to reset all the parameters on the appropriate device(s) or port(s) to match those defined in
the Profile.
Note: The NMS will only set parameters where the value on the device differs for the value in the Profile.
6.10.7 Scheduling Deployment of a Profile
There are situations where a Profile should be deployed at a particular time in the future (such as pending service activation)
or at regular intervals (such as switching back and forth between two Profiles based on time of day or day of week). To
schedule the deployment of a profile follow these steps:
1. Sets up a profile deployment.
2. Instead of pressing the Deploy button, press the Next button to bring up the scheduling window.
3. Select One Time schedule or Recurring schedule and the appropriate parameters for each.
4. Press the Finish button to submit the request to the NMS scheduler.
5. At the specified time(s), the NMS deploys the Profile.
Note: The scheduling mechanism will be the same one as used by the Device Backup/Restore and Software Download applications.
