Switch-port profiles

A port profile determines the enabled front-panel ports and supported breakout modes on Ethernet and unified ports. Change the port profile on a switch to customize uplink and unified port operation, and the availability of front-panel data ports.

To change the port profile at the next reboot, use the switch-port-profile command with the desired profile, save it to the startup configuration, and use the reload command to apply the changes.

  1. Configure a platform-specific port profile in CONFIGURATION mode. For a standalone switch, enter 1/1 for node/unit.
    switch-port-profile node/unit profile
  2. Save the port profile change to the startup configuration in EXEC mode.
    write memory
  3. Reload the switch in EXEC mode.
    reload
The switch reboots with the new port configuration and resets the system defaults, except for the switch-port profile and these configured settings:
  • Management interface 1/1/1 configuration
  • Management IPv4/IPv6 static routes
  • System hostname
  • Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) mode
  • ECMP maximum paths
You must manually reconfigure other settings on a switch after you apply a new port profile and reload the switch.
NOTE: After you change the switch-port profile, do not immediately back up and restore the startup file without using the write memory command and reloading the switch using the reload command. Otherwise, the new profile does not take effect.

Configure port profile

OS10(config)# switch-port-profile 1/1 profile-6 
OS10(config)# exit
OS10# write memory
OS10# reload

Verify port profile

OS10(config)# show switch-port-profile 1/1

|  Node/Unit  |  Current    |  Next-boot  | Default   |
