About the Device and Interface Profiles Page
To access this page, click Inventory > Device and Interface Profiles on the left navigation menu.
You can use device and interface profiles to define the configurations that you want to commit on a device. The profiles include device-level parameters such as IP address assignment, autonomous system (AS) number, and protocol configurations. These configurations enable the device to be ready for service soon after the device is onboarded. After a device is onboarded, you can use the profiles to modify the configurations as well.
