Service Profile
Purpose
The service profile includes a set of parameters which are applied when a service is created and deployed with the ENP.
Please note:
The “Service Profile” tab is only available if you have purchased a TE service profile license option.
Before Service Profiles are edited it is required that the Class Type (HQoS Class Type Definition)s are set according to the Traffic Engineering requirements for the network (Service Profiles are using the reference to the Class Type (HQoS Class Type Definition)s).
Service Profiles can be exported/imported to/from XML files. These files are signed and cannot be modified. Only users with the Traffic Engineering capabilities (license option required) are enabled to create Service Profiles within the Service Profile menu.

Entries in the Service Profile table are filtered with the Class Type Filter on the left hand side (see ENP Main Window).
