Configuration Profiles
Configuration profiles allow operators to define reusable policies and apply them to device groups.
Profile Types
- Wireless: SSIDs, security, channel plans, and QoS.
- Wired: VLANs, trunk/edge templates, PoE budgets.
- Gateway: WAN links, tunnels, firewall rules.
Lifecycle
- Create: Build profiles in the UI or via the Configuration API.
- Validate: Run static validation and, optionally, device simulators.
- Publish: Version the profile and associate it with tenants or sites.
- Roll Out: Target device groups and monitor status.
Best Practices
- Store profile definitions in Git and sync via API.
- Use variables for tenant-specific overrides.
- Schedule maintenance windows for large rollouts.
