Profile Management Configuration and Deployment Considerations

Profile Management Configuration

Before defining a profile’s management configuration, refer to the following deployment guidelines
to ensure the profile configuration is optimally effective:

Define profile management access configurations providing both encryption and
authentication. Management services like HTTPS, SSH and SNMPv3 should be used when
possible, as they provide data privacy and authentication.

Brocade recommends SNMPv3 be used for management profile configurations, as it provides
both encryption and authentication.

Mesh Point Profile Configuration

Mesh points are Brocade Access Points dedicated to mesh network support. Mesh networking
enables users to access broadband applications anywhere (including moving vehicles).

To review a profile’s mesh point configuration:

1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.

2. Select Profiles from the Configuration tab.

3. Select Manage Profiles from the Configuration > Profiles menu.

4. Select Mesh Point.
