Using Profiles with Cisco 700

Series Routers

A proﬁle is a set of conﬁguration parameters associated with ports on the router or WAN

devices.

This chapter contains the following sections:

•

Proﬁle Overview

•

System and Proﬁle Parameters

•

Creating and Modifying Proﬁles

•

Incoming Calls

•

Outgoing Calls

Proﬁle Overview

There are two modes in which you can set parameters, the system mode and the proﬁle

mode. System mode parameters affect the conﬁguration on a global level. Proﬁles are sets

of local parameters. Proﬁle mode parameters affect how the router handles the connection

to a device.

You do not have to reconﬁgure the router every time you connect to a different device.

Instead of using one set of conﬁguration parameters for all devices, you can use different

proﬁles to communicate with a variety of devices.

For example, you can create a user-deﬁned proﬁle called 2500 that contains the parameters

to be used when communicating with a Cisco 2500 series router over the WAN. You can

customize your Cisco 700 series router to maintain up to 17 user-deﬁned proﬁles. Proﬁles

are saved in the Cisco 700 series router nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
