Configuring Your Device Based on a Site Profile
To ease your configuration tasks and save time, choose a site profile based on where your device may be
installed and managed in your network. Based on the site profile you choose, your device is automatically
configured according to Cisco best practices. You can easily modify this default configuration, from the
corresponding detailed configuration screens.
Choosing a site profile as part of Quick Setup allows you to configure your device based on the business needs
of your enterprise. For example, you could use your device as an access switch, to connect client nodes and
endpoints on your network, or as a distribution switch, to route packets between subnets and VLANs.
