Service profiles are created, modified, and deleted using the fdpi_ctrl utility.
Services are divided into three types:

• Without a profile — the service settings are described in the DPI configuration or do not require a description, for example, Service 9 (billing NetFlow/RADIUS Accounting export)
• Anonymous (unnamed) profiles — the service is not created in advance; its parameters are specified when the service is assigned to a subscriber in JSON format
• Named profiles — the service is created before being assigned to a subscriber and is stored in the internal DPI database — Database Administration: UDR and SDR

Named profiles have the following advantages over anonymous profiles:

1. Simplify subscriber administration
2. Allow finding subscribers with a required profile by profile name
3. Allow updating the profile for all subscribers using a given profile simply by changing the profile parameters
4. Allow controlling the limit on the number of unique profiles (maximum 65535)

Anonymous (unnamed) profiles, in turn, have the following advantages:

1. No profile management is required (there is no need to create or delete profiles); the profile is automatically removed when the subscriber or the subscriber's profile is deleted
2. No profile name needs to be invented

General command format:

fdpi_ctrl command --service service_identifier [IP_list] [LOGIN_list]

Command parameter description:

Creating a named profile for Service 6 (one-time redirect), operator news notification, and assigning this service with the profile to a subscriber:

fdpi_ctrl load profile --service 6 --profile.name redir_to_news --profile.json '{ "redirect" : "http://mysite.com/ips_news", "check" : true }'
fdpi_ctrl load --service 6 --profile.name redir_to_news --ip 192.168.0.1
fdpi_ctrl load --service 6 --profile.name redir_to_news --login test

Assigning Service 6 without a profile (the service parameters are taken from the DPI configuration file):

fdpi_ctrl load --service 6 --ip 192.168.0.1
fdpi_ctrl load --service 6 --login test

Assigning Service 6 with an anonymous profile (an unnamed profile that exists until the service is disabled for the subscriber):

fdpi_ctrl load --service 6 --profile.json '{ "redirect" : "http://mysite.com/ips_news", "check" : true }' --ip 192.168.0.1
fdpi_ctrl load --service 6 --profile.json '{ "redirect" : "http://mysite.com/ips_news", "check" : true }' --login test

Disabling Service 6 for a specific subscriber:

fdpi_ctrl del --service 6 --ip 192.168.0.1
fdpi_ctrl del --service 6 --login test

Get a list of all subscribers with Service 6 enabled:

fdpi_ctrl list all --service 6

Find subscribers with Service 6 assigned using a specific named profile:

fdpi_ctrl list all --service 6 --profile.name redir_to_news

Get information for a specific IP address for Service 6:

fdpi_ctrl list --service 6 --ip 192.168.0.1

Delete a named profile (the profile must not be assigned to any subscribers before deletion):

fdpi_ctrl del profile --service 6 --profile.name redir_to_news

Modify the settings of a service with a named profile (the new settings will be applied to all subscribers using the specified service profile):

fdpi_ctrl load profile --service 6 --profile.name redir_to_news --profile.json '{ "redirect" : "http://mysite.com/ips_news_new", "check" : true }'

Display all created profiles for all services:

fdpi_ctrl list all profile --service

When specifying an IP list, multiple options can be used simultaneously: –file, –ip, –ip_range, –cidr:

fdpi_ctrl list --service 6 --ip 192.168.0.1 --ip 192.168.0.2 --file fip_1.txt --ip_range 192.168.0.3-192.168.0.6 --login USER1

The operation will be applied to all specified entries for which no error occurred.

If an error occurs, previously applied changes are not rolled back!
