Import Management Station Configuration Files

In this step, you will import the configuration files that you exported from the management station.

You must have permissions granted to make management station changes.

You can import only one set of configuration files at a time. Attempts to import multiple configurations and configuration files at once (e.g., two running-config.txt files from different configurations) will cause configuration import to fail.

Importing incorrect or incomplete configuration files can negatively impact normalization and change history.

To import the configuration, complete the following steps.

1. On the toolbar, click Device > Management Stations.

3. On the Management Stations page from the devices list, click the device to import a configuration to, and then click the Menu icon , and then click Import Configuration Files.

4. In the Import Configuration Files dialog box, click Attach File(s).

   • Select all of the files for the configuration that you want to import. For the import to work correctly, you must import all of the files for the configuration at once. To select multiple files, press and hold the CTRL key while you click each file name, and then click Open.

   The selection of multiple files is only allowed from one directory, not from multiple different directories.

   • Click Import.
5. All imported configurations will have a retrieval date of the date and time of import.
