You can add a CLI configuration profile for selected switch models and apply the profile at the venue level. All switches matching the selected models that are added to the selected venue(s) receive the CLI Configuration Profile.

1. On the navigation bar, select Wired > Wired Network Profiles > Configuration Profiles.
   The Wired Network Profiles page is displayed, defaulting to the Configuration Profiles tab.
2. Click Add CLI Profile.
   The Add CLI Configuration Profile page is displayed.

   Note: These profiles allow you to pre-define CLI configuration for switches. Once defined, these profiles can be applied to one or more venues. Any switch(es) that are in factory default condition joining such venue will inherit the configuration. There is also an additional option to overwrite pre-existing configuration on the switches with the profile configuration.

   

3. On the Important Notice page, review the information carefully and enter AGREE in the text field to continue.
4. Click Next.

   You can type the commands manually, copy and paste the configuration from another file, click the icon next to the examples listed on the right, or import the commands from a file. Ensure that all required command attributes are defined.

   If you use the Import from file option, note the following:

   • The file size cannot exceed 2 MB.

   You can enable Override existing switch configuration to remove previous configuration settings from the switch.

      • (Optional) Click Customize to assign the variable values for each switch. Switches that are onboarded to RUCKUS One and configured with the CLI profile appear under Online Devices; they are considered provisioned devices and cannot be removed.

        Switches not yet configured with the CLI profile appear under Devices to be provisioned, where you can customize their values.
