Importing network configuration from a different system

Import the device and site configuration that was exported from another system. For example, to create a copy of an existing system or to transfer the configuration from a test system into a production system. You can also import the configuration from configuration tools, such as ION Setup.

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

To import the network configuration from a different system:

1. In Device Manager, click Import. This opens the import wizard.
2. Follow the steps in the import wizard. Select the configuration file from the other system when prompted by the wizard to upload the import file.
3. Complete the configuration import in the import wizard.
4. Click Finish in the import wizard.
