NSI search operations use a profile to construct an NSI search path. When an NSI
search operation reads a profile, the operation dynamically constructs its NSI search
path from the set of elements that correspond to a common RPC interface.
A profile element is used only once per NSI search path. The construction of NSI
search paths depends partly on the priority rankings of the elements. A search operation
uses higher-priority elements before lower-priority elements. Elements of equal priority
are used in random order, permitting some variation in the NSI search paths between
searches for a given interface. If nondefault profile elements do not satisfy a search, the
search path extends to the default profile element, if any.
Profiles meet the needs of particular individuals, systems, LANs, sites, organizations,
and so forth, with minimal configuration management. The administrator of a profile can
set up NSI search paths that reflect the preferences of the profile’s user or users. The
