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.

Tasks You Can Perform

  • View details of device and interface profiles—The Profiles table displays the various parameters of the configured device and interface profiles. See Table 1.

  • Add labels; see Add Labels.

  • Add a device profile; see Add a Device Profile.

  • Add an interface profile; see .Add an Interface Profile.

  • Edit and delete device or interface profiles; see Edit and Delete a Label or Profile.

  • Search by using keywords—Click the search icon (magnifying glass), enter the search term in the text box, and press Enter. The search results are displayed on the same page.

  • Filter the data displayed in the table—Click the filter icon (funnel) and select whether you want to show or hide advanced filters. You can then add or remove filter criteria, save criteria as a filter, apply or clear filters, and so on. The filtered results are displayed on the same page.

  • Show or hide columns in the table or reset page preferences, using the vertical ellipsis menu.

  • Sort, resize, or re-arrange columns in a table (grid).

  • Set the number of rows to be displayed in the table—Set the number of rows (15, 30, 50, or 100) to be displayed in the Network Implementation Plan table in the Display drop-down list provided at the bottom right-corner of the table.

    If there are multiple pages of rows, use the arrow heads to traverse through the pages or enter a page number to view the entries listed on that page.
