Switch Profiles
Switch Profiles are designed in a similar way to Interface Profiles. Switch Profiles are created for every single leaf switch as well as for VPC pairs. The Interface Profiles are matched up one-to-one to each of the Switch Profiles. This simplifies the entire Interface Profile and Switch Profile design. Another benefit is that if a port needs to be reprogrammed, only the interface selector needs to be modified as the interface profile is already mapped to the switch profile and the policy is automatically changed on the leaf switch.
| Switch Profile Name | Associated Interface Profile |
| <leaf-name>-<node-id1>-<node-id2>_swprof | <leaf-name><node-id1>-<node-id2>_intprof |
| <leaf-name>-<node-id>_swprof | <leaf-name><node-id>_intprof |
| <leaf-name>-<node-id>_swprof | <leaf-name><node-id>_intprof |
In this example, we ensure that Leaf Switches 201 and 202 are properly configured with Interface Profiles and Switch Profiles and are mapped intuitively.
| Switch Profile Name | Associated Interface Profile |
| Leaf201-202_swprof | Leaf201-202_intprof |
| Leaf201_swprof | Leaf201_intprof |
| Leaf202_swprof | Leaf202_intprof |
