Configuration Import/Export

To import or export the configuration, navigate to Settings → System → Backup & Maintenance → Configuration Import/Export

Easily share your current configuration across multiple IP Fabric instances or create a backup using the import/export feature. This feature enables you to export the current configuration to a file and import it into the same or another IP Fabric instance, replacing the existing configuration.

Configuration Export

To export the current configuration, click the Export Configuration button.

A side panel will appear, allowing you to export the full configuration or select specific parts to export. You will need to enter a passphrase to encrypt the data in the exported file.

Password Requirements

The password must be at least 8 characters long. We recommend using a strong passphrase that includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

After submitting the export, a Configuration Export job will be queued. Once the job is complete, you will receive a notification, and the exported configuration file will be available for download from the job’s notification.

Configuration Import

To import the configuration, follow these steps and click the Import Configuration button.

A side panel will appear, prompting you to enter the correct passphrase and select a file containing the exported configuration.

Configuration import overrides current configuration

Importing the configuration will overwrite the entire current configuration file with the imported data. We recommend creating a backup before proceeding with the import.

After submitting the import, a Configuration Import job will be queued. Once the job is complete, you will receive a notification. After the import, we recommend logging out and logging back in to ensure all imported data is correctly loaded.
