Figure 35 CSV import examples with remote and local interface attributes

When importing a configuration to a new ETEP appliance, specifying the remote and local interface automatically disables Transparent mode. If you are importing a configuration to an existing appliance on which Transparent mode is enabled, you will need to merge the configurations in order for the new import data to be accepted on the ETEP. See “Changing Configuration Import Preferences” on page 115 to learn more about merging new configurations with existing ones.

Changing Configuration Import Preferences

In addition to facilitating the provisioning of new appliances, the Import Configurations feature can be used to merge newer configurations with existing ones. First, ETEMS verifies that the appliance name and IP address in the CSV file matches that of an existing configuration. If they match, ETEMS merges the new information with the existing configuration, replacing the updated fields.

This behavior is controlled in the Tools Preferences. The default behavior is to reject duplicate configurations. To enable configuration merging, go to Edit > Preferences > ETEMS > Tools and click the checkbox labeled Import Appliance Configuration: Merge existing configurations.

The following settings cannot be merged into an existing configuration: appliance name, management IP address, product family (device type), or software version.
