Isolating a Peer Switch
You can isolate a peer switch in order to make changes to a switch profile. This process can be used when
you want to block a configuration synchronization or when you want to debug configurations.
Isolating a peer switch requires that you remove the switch from the switch profile and then add the peer
switch back to the switch profile.
To temporarily isolate a peer switch, follow these steps:
1 Remove a peer switch from a switch profile.
2 Make changes to the switch profile and commit the changes.
3 Enter debug commands.
4 Undo the changes that were made to the switch profile in Step 2 and commit.
5 Add the peer switch back to the switch profile.
Deleting a Switch Profile
You can delete a switch profile by selecting the all-config or the local-config option:
• all-config—Deletes the switch profile on both peer switches (when both are reachable). If you choose

Command or Action
switch-profile name
Example:
switch(config-sync)# switch-profile abc
switch(config-sync-sp)#
verify
Example:
switch(config-sync-sp)# verify
exit
Example:
switch(config-sync-sp)# exit
switch#
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
this option and one of the peers is unreachable, only the local switch profile is deleted. The all-config
option completely deletes the switch profile on both peer switches.
Configuring Switch Profiles
Purpose
Configures the switch profile, names the switch
profile, and enters switch profile
synchronization configuration mode.
Verifies the commands in the switch profile
buffer.
Exits the switch profile configuration mode.
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
