Overriding a Profile’s Network Alias Configuration
Overriding a Profile’s Network Configuration
With large deployments, the configuration of remote sites utilizes a set of shared attributes, of
which a small set of attributes are unique for each location. For such deployments, maintaining
separate configuration (WLANs, profiles, policies and ACLs) for each remote site is complex.
Migrating any global change to a particular configuration item to all the remote sites is a complex
and time consuming operation.
Also, this practice does not scale gracefully for quick growing deployments.
An alias enables an administrator to define a configuration item, such as a hostname, as an alias
once and use the defined alias across different configuration items such as multiple ACLs.
Include Hostname in
DHCP Request Select the Include Hostname in DHCP Request option to include a hostname within a DHCP lease for
a requesting device. This feature is disabled by default.
DHCP Persistent Lease Check this option to enable a persistent DHCP lease for the device. A persistent DHCP lease assigns
the same IP Address and other network information to the device each time it renews its DHCP lease.
