Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run the copy-from command to copy data to the current profile from a profile of the same type. This simplifies profile configuration and improves configuration efficiency.

To create a profile that has the same configuration as an existing profile, enter the view of the profile to be created and run the copy-from command to copy data from the existing profile.
To create a profile that has most configurations the same as an existing profile, enter the view of the profile to be created, run the copy-from command to copy data from the existing profile, and modify the different configurations.

Precautions

If the current profile is referenced by another profile, you cannot run the command to copy data to the current profile.

When the WAPI certificate or private key configuration exists in the security profile, you must manually perform the configuration instead of using this command to copy data.
