Interface Profiles
This chapter describes how to create interface profiles using the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager
application. Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager allows you to create and apply profiles to interfaces
(see
Figure 7-1 ).
Figure 7-1 Interface Profiles Workflow
Profiles allow you to apply a set of existing parameters to a number of similar type objects, eliminating
the need to enter the same data numerous times. Once you have created a profile, you can apply that same
profile to a number of interfaces, as applicable. This saves you from having to enter the same
configuration information each time for the same type of objects.
Tip When you choose a profile name, it is recommended to use a naming convention that
describes the profile type. For example, an ATM profile might be called ATM1, a POS
profile might be called POS2, and an HSRP profile could be HSRP1.
