Usage Guidelines

If you need to create an intrusion prevention profile that is similar to an existing one, clone the existing one or use an intrusion prevention profile template.

If new-name is not specified, the default name of the new intrusion prevention profile is old-name_n. n indicates the number of times the profile has been cloned. It is an integer starting from 1.

Example

# Create two intrusion prevention profiles by using profile template default.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] profile type ips copy default
[sysname-profile-ips-default_1] quit
[sysname] profile type ips copy default p_ips_1 
[sysname-profile-ips-p_ips_1]
