FIGURE 6-56 ADSL Details - NMS and Interface Profile
Whenever a profile is deployed by the NMS to the port, the Interface Profile Name will be set to the port Profile name.
Note that there is no other way to change the Interface Profile Name via the NMS. If for whatever reason the names do not
match, for example someone changes the external profile name on the device using the CLI, the port profile name (upper
right) will be marked with an asterisk. Normally this will only be detected during discovery, when the NMS automatically
performs port-profile comparison.
Note: The administrator must therefore be aware that if the External Profile Name is changed at the CLI, there will be no
notification of this at the NMS until the device is (re)discovered.
When a port is activated from the Ports Inventory table, a message such as the following will be displayed if the profile name
and external profile name do not match exactly:
