Adding a CLI Configuration Profile

You can add a CLI profile for your choice of 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.

Note: If you apply a CLI Configuration Profile to a venue, you cannot configure a Regular Profile for the same venue.
Complete the following steps to add a CLI profile.
Note: Beginning with the FastIron 09.0.10e release, certain CLI commands have been deprecated. For a list of deprecated CLI commands, refer to the FastIron 09.0.10e for RUCKUS ICX Switches Release Notes.
