Configuring user profiles

About user profiles

A user profile defines a set of parameters, such as a QoS policy, for a user or a class of users. A user profile can be reused when a user connected to the network on a different interface.

The user profile application allows flexible traffic policing on a per-user basis. Each time a user passes authentication, the server sends the device the name of the user profile specified for the user. The device applies the parameters in the user profile to the user.

User profiles are typically used for resource allocation per user. For example, the interface-based traffic policing limits the total amount of bandwidth available to a group of users. However, user-profile-based traffic policing can limit the amount of bandwidth available to a single user.

Restrictions: Software version compatibility with user profile

The user profile is supported only in Release 6616 and later.

Prerequisites for user profile

A user profile works with authentication methods. You must configure authentication for a user profile. For information about supported authentication methods, see the configuration guides for the related authentication modules.

Configuring a user profile

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Create a user profile and enter user profile view.

user-profile profile-name

3.     Configure the user profile. Choose the options to configure as needed:

¡     Apply an existing QoS policy to the user profile.

qos apply policy policy-name { inbound | outbound }

By default, no QoS policy is applied to a user profile.

¡     Configure a CAR policy for the user profile.

qos car { inbound | outbound } any cir committed-information-rate [ cbs committed-burst-size [ ebs excess-burst-size ] ]

qos car { inbound | outbound } any cir committed-information-rate [ cbs committed-burst-size ] pir peak-information-rate [ ebs excess-burst-size ]

By default, no CAR policy is configured for a user profile.

For information about QoS policies and CAR policies, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.
