6.10.8 Deploying Changes to a Profile
When a Profile is modified on the NMS, any device or port in the network using that profile will no longer be consistent with
the Profile on the NMS. When modifying a Profile on the NMS, the NMS will allow the user to have the NMS automatically
push the changes in the profile to the objects (devices or ports) in the network to which the profile had been applied. Follow
these steps:
1. Modify a Profile as defined in 6.10.3.
2. The NMS prompts the user whether the changes should be deployed to the objects (devices or port) in the network
currently using that Profile.
3. If yes, the profile will be redeployed.
6.10.9 Profile Monitoring
Profile monitoring is the process tracking the Profiles being used by objects in the network. It also includes the tracking of
whether the individual settings of the object are consistent with the parameters defined in the Profile that was applied to it.
The settings can deviate from the Profiles over time as the devices are manipulated through non-AlliedView NMS methods
(such as using the CLI directly). To better manage the Profiles, the NMS monitors the Profile to port and device associations
in the network.
6.10.9.1 Viewing Profile to Port Associations
The user can view a list of ports that indicate which Port Profile each of the ports is currently using. This view will also
indicate whether the parameters set on the port are still consistent with the Port Profile defined on the NMS. Perform the
following steps:
