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 cur-
rently 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.
