Profile Alias Configuration
Profile 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.
Once a configuration item, such as an ACL, is utilized across remote locations, the Alias used in the
configuration item (ACL) is modified to meet local deployment requirement. Any other ACL or other
configuration items using the modified alias also get modified, simplifying maintenance at the
remote deployment.
Aliases have scope depending on where the Alias is defined. Alias are defined with the following
scopes:
Include Hostname in
DHCP Request Select Include Hostname in DHCP Request to include a hostname in a DHCP lease for a requesting
device. This feature is disabled by default.
DHCP Persistent Lease Enables a persistent DHCP lease for a requesting device. A persistent DHCP lease assigns the same
IP Address and other network information to the device each time it renews its DHCP lease.
