When you create a new profile, you can target a specific deployment or
leverage an existing profile using inheritance. Profiles with inherited settings
cannot be edited if the main profile is locked. For each
profile in the hierarchy, the following items can be inherited from the profile
in the
next level up:
- Security filter exceptions and restrictions
- Application filter restrictions
- Reputation exceptions
- Category settings
- Digital Vaccine, Threat DV, and Digital Vaccine Toolkit package filters
- Advanced DDoS filters
- Reputation filters
- Traffic Management filters
