shsingh Thanks for your comment. Yes, you're right, the IPS profile is being soft referenced because that is being decoupled into its own CRD. Some benefits include being able to enhance or fix these components independently so the delivery of new code can happen much quicker. It also provides logical separation . You'll find this to be true for other functionality like FW ACLs, NAT Policies, High Speed Logging profile, etc. when looking at another type of listener called F5BigContextSecure where you'd have the forwarding type listeners. This listener also can reference a protocolInspectionProfile name.
