Profile Interface Override Configuration
A profile’s interface configuration can be defined to support separate physical Ethernet
configurations both unique and specific to RFS4000, RFS6000, RFS7000 controllers and NX4500,
NX6500 and NX9000 series service platforms. Ports vary depending on platform, but controller or
service platform models do have some of the same physical interfaces.
A controller or service platform requires its Virtual Interface be configured for layer 3 (IP) access or
layer 3 service on a VLAN. A Virtual Interface defines which IP address is associated with each
VLAN ID the controller or service platform is connected to.
If the profile is configured to support an Access Point radio, an additional Radios option is
available, unique to the Access Point’s radio configuration.
Each profile interface configuration can have overrides applied to customize the configuration to a
unique controller or service platform deployment. However, once an override is applied to this
configuration it becomes independent from the profile that may be shared by a group of devices in
a specific deployment and my need careful administration until a profile can be re-applied to the
target controller or service platform. For more information, refer to the following:

Profile Interface Override Configuration
The ports available on controllers vary depending RFS controller model. The following ports are
available to controllers:
•
RFS4000 - ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, ge5, up1
•
RFS6000 - ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, ge5, ge6, ge7, ge8, me1, up1
•
RFS7000 - ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, me1
GE ports on RFS4000 and RFS6000 models are RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000Mbps. The
GE ports on a RFS7000 can be RJ-45 or fiber ports supporting 10/100/1000Mbps.
ME ports are available on RFS6000 and RFS7000 platforms. ME ports are out-of-band
management ports used to manage the controller via CLI or Web UI, even when the other ports on
the controller are unreachable.
UP ports are available on RFS4000 and RFS6000 controllers. An UP port is used to connect to the
backbone network. An UP port supports either RJ-45 or fiber. The UP port is the preferred means to
connect to the backbone as it has a non-blocking 1gbps connection unlike the GE ports.
