Permanent Profiles
Cisco 700 series routers contain three permanent profiles. Permanent profiles can be
modified, but they cannot be deleted. The permanent profiles are as follows:
LAN
Internal
Standard
The decision to use the LAN or Internal profile involves some knowledge of your network
design and whether you are bridging or routing to remote sites (or a combination of both).
It is best to use the LAN profile instead of the Internal profile to simplify the configuration.
You can easily associate the LAN profile with the Ethernet interface and the user-defined
profiles with the ISDN interface.
Sometimes situations arise (very infrequent) where you must route a protocol to one site
and bridge the same protocol to another site. Simply leave the LAN profile as a bridging
profile, and use the Internal profile for all routed protocol information.

router.
The default profile. If authentication is set to none and a profile does not
exist for the WAN switch, the router uses the Standard profile by default.
If authentication is required and no profile is found, the call is dropped.
