Editing Exclusions

When you apply profiles to a location, the Avalanche Console applies the configurations to all nested locations within that location. That profile is considered an inherited profile. However, you can exclude an inherited profile from a location. The profile will still appear in the Applied Profiles tab, but will not be applied to any servers or devices. The profile will also be excluded from any associated sub-locations.

For example:

Navigation Window

When a profile is applied at My Enterprise, it is also applied to all sub-locations. However, if it is excluded at Region 1, the profile will also be excluded from Location X and Groups A and B.

When a profile has been excluded from a parent location, you can allow a sub‑location to apply it. Using the above example, you could reapply a profile to Group A that has been excluded at Region 1. (It would still be excluded at Group B.)

To exclude an inherited profile:

From the Navigation Window, select the location at which you want to exclude an inherited profile.

Select the Properties tab.

On the Applied Profiles tab, click Edit Exclusions.

Enable the Excluded check box for the inherited profile you want to exclude.

Click Save.

The profile will be excluded, but will still appear in the Applied Profiles tab for all sub-locations.

To reapply an inherited profile:

From the Navigation Window, select the location at which you want to re-apply an inherited profile.

Select the Properties tab.

On the Applied Profiles tab, click Edit Exclusions.

Disable the Excluded check box for the inherited profile you want to reapply.

Click Save.

The profile will be applied for the selected location. It will also be inherited as an applied profile, rather than as an excluded profile.
