Exporting network configuration for use in a different system

Export the device and site configuration of a system for importing into another system. For example, configure the sites and devices in a test system and then export this configuration for use in a production system.

NOTE: You cannot import the configuration back into the same system from which it was exported.

To export the network configuration for use in a different system:

In Device Manager, select the Devices or the Sites tab.
Click Options in the top right corner of the display pane, and then click Export Network Configuration for Use in a Different System in the options menu. This exports the configuration and saves it in CSV file format to your local Downloads folder.
Transfer the exported configuration file to the target system.
Import the configuration file into the target system. See Importing network configuration from a different system for details.

NOTE: Keep the configuration file secure during and after the transfer to prevent unauthorized access.
