Profile Creation via API - ****DO NOT DO THIS WITH YOUR ISE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT****

This video is a little different than the previous ones that I’ve created. I’m starting it out by saying that you should NOT do this in production and this is only for a lab environment. This method is not supported by Cisco and we’re pretty much using a hack to create these profiles. If you call TAC because this doesn’t work or you break something, you’re not going to get support with it. That being said: It still has a very good use. Let’s say you do an endpoint dump from your production environment* of your production environment and you need to create a large number of custom profiles. In that situation, you can still spin up a lab virtual machine, create the profiles there using this method without risking your production environment, and then export the profiles as one bulk file from that lab system using the Export in Policy>Profiling.
