Provisioning Tutorial Profile Formats 3 Profile Formats This section demonstrates the generation of configuration profiles. To explain the functionality in this section, TFTP from a local PC is used as the resync method, although HTTP or HTTPS can be used for testing as well, if it is convenient. This section includes the following topics: • Profile Compression, page 77 • Profile Encryption, page 78 • Partitioned Profiles, page 79 • Parameter Name Aliases, page 80 • Proprietary Profile Format, page 81 Profile Compression A configuration profile in XML format can become quite large if all parameters are individually specified by the profile. To reduce the load on the provisioning server, the IP Telephony Device supports compression of the XML file, using the deflate compression format used by the gzip utility (RFC 1951). Exercise STEP 1 Install gzip on the local PC. STEP 2 Compress the basic.txt profile from earlier exercises, by invoking gzip from the command line: gzip basic.txt This generates the deflated file basic.txt.gz. STEP 3 Save the deflated file in the TFTP server virtual root directory. STEP 4 Modify the Profile_Rule on the test device to resync to the deflated file in place of the original XML file, as in the following example: tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt.gz STEP 5 Click Submit All Changes. STEP 6 Observe the syslog trace from the IP Telephony Device. Cisco Small Business IP Telephony Devices Provisioning Guide 77
