When this window appears, it displays the active profile and its settings.
The default active profile for all LRE ports is the LRE-10 private profile.
If a public profile is active, Public Mode is selected, and the Public
Profile Setting and Private Profile Setting tabs are both displayed.
If a private profile is active, Private Mode is selected, and only the
Private Profile Setting tab is displayed.
Click the Public Profile Setting tab or click Public Mode to
display the public profile associated with the switch. Click the Private
Profile Setting tab or click Private Mode to display the private
profiles associated with the LRE ports.
Note: Public profiles have priority over private profiles. If you assign
a public profile to the switch, the switch ignores any assigned private profiles.

tab is disabled (not displayed). You must click Public Mode to display
the Public Profile Setting tab.
- Click Modify to display the Modify Profile Settings window from
which you can change the setting.
The switch resets the ports with the updated public profile settings.
Note: Changes to the public profile settings are immediately put into
effect, and the public mode automatically becomes the active mode. It is not
necessary to perform the steps in Changing
the Active Profile Mode.
To change the private profile setting of
one or more LRE ports on the switch:
- Click either Private Mode or the Private Profile Setting
tab.
Note: The Private Profile Setting tab appears whether Public
Mode or Private Mode is selected.

To choose several ports, hold down the Ctrl key and make your choices,
or hold down the Shift key and choose the first and last port in a
range.
- Click Modify to display the Modify Profile Settings window from
which you can change the setting.
Note: Changes to the private profile settings are not put in
effect until you make the private mode the active mode.
See Changing the Active Profile Mode.

The Private Profile Setting tab, listing the LRE ports and their associated
private profiles, appears.

Setting tab and Private Mode is selected, click either:
- OK to put the changes to the private profile settings
in effect, to make the private mode active, and to close this window
- Apply to put the changes to the private profile settings
in effect, to make the private mode active, and to keep this window open
so that you can select another LRE switch from the Host Name list
