Common Operations of Profiles

Copying Profiles

To improve configuration efficiency, you can copy configurations in one profile to another profile and then modify specific parameters.

For example, if you need to copy the configurations in VAP profile b to VAP profile a, you only need to run the copy-from profile-name command in the view of VAP profile a. The detailed procedure is as follows:

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] vap-profile name a
[HUAWEI-wlan-vap-prof-a] copy-from b

You can perform this operation only between profiles of the same type. For example, you can copy the configurations in a VAP profile to another VAP profile other than a radio profile.
If a profile is bound to another profile, you cannot perform this operation in this profile. For example, if VAP profile a is bound to an AP group, you cannot perform this operation in VAP profile a.

Viewing Reference Information About a Profile

After configuring a profile, you can run the display references profile-type name profile-name command to view to which profiles it is bound. profile-type indicates the name of a profile type. You can run the display references ? command in any view to view all profile-type available for viewing and description. For example, you can run the display references radio-2g-profile name default command to view the profiles to which 2G radio profile default is bound.
