Importing
Configurations

You can import a configuration from one HP EFS WAN Accelerator to another. When
you import a configuration:

‹

Keep Import Shared Data Only checked to copy only the following common
settings: in-path and out-of-path interface, protocols, CLI and Web, statistics,
NTP, SNMP, and alarm settings. The following settings are not automatically
copied: failover, SNMP (contact and location), log, and network settings.

You can avoid copy and paste errors by using the import configuration option when
you are replacing or adding a HP EFS WAN Accelerator in your network. Simply
connect the replacement HP EFS WAN Accelerator to your LAN and import the
configuration from your existing HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If you are swapping one
HP EFS WAN Accelerator for another, you can import all of the network information
(although not the licenses) and disconnect the old HP EFS WAN Accelerator before
you switch configurations on the new appliance.

To deploy a large network of HP EFS WAN Accelerators, you can avoid configuring
each HP EFS WAN Accelerator individually by setting up a template HP EFS WAN
Accelerator and using the configuration import option to copy the template to each HP
EFS WAN Accelerator.
