Editing a management profile

You can modify a management profile regardless of whether it is assigned to a real device or not.

If the management profile is already associated with a planned node and if real-world devices are using the management profile, then:

  • if you attempt to update a management profile and the real-world device is in the In Discovery state, the system rejects the update
  • if you attempt to update a management profile and the real-world device is not in the Ready state, the system re-associates the real-world device with the profile
  • you cannot change the port value or the name assigned to the profile
Note: If you modify a management profile that it assigned to real device, the real device state can change to Unavailable.
Note:

Changing the gNMI management profile password does not create the users on the devices, nor does it remove the default user. To remove the default username and password from SR Linux, you must do it outside of the Fabric Services System.

  1. Click to open the main menu, then select Inventory .
  2. In the Management Profiles view, find the management profile that you want to modify and double-click it.
  3. In the Edit Management Profile window, update the fields that you want to modify.
    You can update the following fields:
    • Description
    • Labels
    • User
    • Password
    Note: Ensure that you provide the correct syntax for the credentials that you are entering for use by the real node; the Fabric Services System does not validate the syntax.
  4. When you are finished, click SAVE.
