This chapter describes how to create interface profiles using the Cisco 12000 Manager (C12kM) application. C12kM 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.

Creating an ATM Interface Profile

To create an ATM interface profile, proceed as follows:

---

Step 1 Choose the C12kM Management>Physical>Interface>ATM>Configuration Profile option from a relevant object icon in the Map Viewer window or from an object pick list. Refer to Table 7-2 for information on which objects allow you to launch the ATM Interface Profile window.

Figure 7-2 ATM Interface Configuration Profile Window (Configuration (1) Tab)

Refer to the "ATM Interface Configuration Profile Window—Detailed Description" section for further information on the parameters displayed in this window.

Step 2 Choose Create Profile. A Prompt window appears (see Figure 7-3) for you to enter a name for you new profile.

---

Note Each profile created must have a unique name. Do not insert spaces into a profile name. 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.

---

Figure 7-3 Prompt Window

Step 3 Enter a name for the new profile in the Enter profile name data entry box.

Step 4 Choose Ok. The ATM Interface Configuration Profile window reappears with the new profile name displayed in the ATM Interface list at the left of the window.
