Feature Overview

When the Apply profile changes to existing switches option is:

• Disabled: The switch configuration profile changes are applied to newly installed switches only.
• Enabled (default): The switch configuration profile changes are applied to both newly installed switches and existing switches.

Requirements

You have two options for setting up configuration profile on your ICX switches:

• Create a regular switch configuration profile first, define the configuration settings for your switches in a profile, and associate this profile with one or more venues.
• For the existing ICX switches that are already associated with one or more venues, create a regular switch configuration profile later and apply the profile changes to the switches.

Considerations

Consider the following behavior changes:

• For the newly installed Greenfield ICX switches, when a regular switch configuration profile is created first (before associating the switch with a venue), the profile changes are applied to the switches regardless of whether the Apply profile changes to existing switches option is turned ON or OFF.
  Note: A newly installed Greenfield ICX switch refers to a RUCKUS ICX switch that is new without any configuration (prior to its integration into the production environment).
• For the newly installed Brownfield ICX switches, when a regular switch configuration profile is created first (before associating the switch with a venue), the profile changes are not applied to the switches regardless of whether the Apply profile changes to existing switches option is turned ON or OFF.
  Note: A newly installed Brownfield ICX switch refers to a RUCKUS ICX switch that has its own pre-existing configuration (prior to its integration into the production environment).
• When the existing ICX switches are already associated with one or multiple venues and the Apply profile changes to existing switches option is turned ON, the profile changes are applied to the switches; when this option is turned OFF, the profile changes are not applied.
• While applying the profile changes, if the VLAN setting has port-level override, then the VLAN port settings are not affected.
