Creating a Profile

NOTE: If you choose to configure VRRP, we recommend that you complete
all IP address configurations before you configure VRRP. See JunosE Services
Availability Configuration Guide, for additional information.
You can configure an IP interface dynamically by creating a profile. A profile is a set of
characteristics that acts as a pattern that can be dynamically assigned to an IP interface.
You can manage a large number of IP interfaces efficiently by creating a profile with a
specific set of characteristics. In addition, you can create a profile to assign an IP interface
to a virtual router.
A profile can contain one or more of the following characteristics:
access-route—Enables the creation of host access routes on an interface
address—Configures an IP address on an interface
auto-configure—Configures the interface for auto-configure mode
auto-detect—Configures the interface for auto-detect mode
directed-broadcast—Enables directed broadcast forwarding
filter-options-all—Enables filtering of packets with IP options on an interface
igmp—Configures an IGMP interface
ignore-df-bit—Specifies that the don't-fragment bit is ignored
inactivity-timer—Configures inactivity time for IP interfaces
inspection—Associates an inspection list to the interface for firewalling
mtu—Configures the maximum transmission unit for a network
nat—Configures the interface as inside or outside for Network Address Translation
(NAT)
policy—Assigns a policy to the ingress or egress of an interface
redirects—Enables transmission of ICMP redirect messages
route-maps—Configures the interface for route-map processing
source address validation—Verifies that a packet has been sent from a valid source
address
tcp adjust-mss—Adjusts maximum packet sizes on TCP connections when path MTU
detection is not sufficient
unnumbered—Configures IP on this interface without a specific address
virtual-router—Specifies a virtual router to which interfaces created by this profile will
be attached
