Create and Import an Firewall Device Manager Model

Cisco Defense Orchestrator provides the ability to export the complete configuration of an FDM-managed device on a CDO tenant to a JSON file format. You can then import this file to another tenant as an Firewall device manager model and apply it to a new device on that tenant. The feature is beneficial when you want to use an FDM-managed device's configuration on different tenants that you manage.

Note

If the FDM-managed device contains rulesets, the shared rules associated with the rulesets are modified as local rules when exporting the configuration. Later, when the model is imported to another tenant and applied to an FDM-managed device, you'll see the local rules in the device.
