Profiles

To add, edit, remove, and deploy a profile, complete the following steps.

Before you begin

By default, when you choose to assign MAC addresses, they are assigned for each port. These configurations match a single-bay server. They are generic configurations and contain a virtual address for each hardware type. As a result, when you change the type of server or adapter, you do not need to modify the configuration. To generate a configuration that assigns an address to a subset of the ports, you can edit the deployment and select which type of address to assign to each port.
