Chapter 10: Deployment Profiles  

  149

To change the deployment profile, the new profile must first be selected, and the switch must then 
be rebooted to use the new profile.

Before changing profiles, it is recommended that you save the active switch configuration 

to a backup file so that it may be restored later if desired.

The following ISCLI commands are used to change the deployment profile:

To view the currently selected deployment profile, use the following ISCLI privileged EXEC 
command:

When using a specialized profile, menus and commands are unavailable for features that 

are not supported under the profile. Such menus and commands will be available again only when a 
supporting profile is used.

BLADEOS 6.5 configuration blocks and backup files generated under a specific deployment profile 
are generally compatible among all other deployment profiles. However, if commands or capacities 
configured under a prior profile are not available using the current profile, the switch will ignore the 
unsupported commands. Mutually supported commands will be processed normally between 
profiles.

All configuration commands from the prior profile are initially retained when changing profiles, 
even though some may be ignored when the switch starts with new profile. This allows the 
administrator to change back to the prior deployment profile with the prior configuration intact if 
desired. However, once the administrator saves the configuration under the new profile, all 
unsupported commands are immediately cleared. For example, when using the Routing profile, 
because ACLs are unsupported in that mode, their settings will be excluded when the configuration 
is saved. Then, if returning to the Default profile, it will be necessary to reconfigure the desired 
ACLs, or to use the backup configuration.
