Assigning a management profile to a node

Use this procedure to associate a management profile to a node.​
Before you can update a user-defined gNMI management profile in SR Linux nodes, complete the following tasks.
  1. Deploy the target node.
  2. Change the user credential on the target node.
    Note: Do not apply user-defined gNMI management profile while a fabric intent in candidate mode.
  3. When the credential change appears as a deviation, accept the deviation as a read-only system GCO; see Deviations.
    Note: Do not change credentials on the target node while the fabric intent in candidate mode.
You can now change the management profile in the inventory.
  1. Click to open the main menu, then select Inventory .
  2. In the Fabric Elements view, find the node that you want to associate.
  3. Click at the right edge of its row and select Assign Management Profile.
  4. Click the management profile that you want to assign to the node, then click ASSIGN.
    Note: The original default gNMI profile created by the system is not deleted on real node. If needed, change credentials of the default gNMI on the real node.
    Note: Deleting a gNMI profile on the SR Linux and then adding it back later triggers a Fabric Services System deviation, because the SR Linux password hashing is different. You must accept the deviation.
Repeat these steps for each node for which you want to assign a profile.
