Exporting Configurations

Depending on the number of configurations being exported and the number of objects those configurations reference, the export process may take several minutes.

Tip

Many list pages include an YouTube EDU (YouTube EDU icon) next to list items. Where this icon is present, you can use it as a quick alternative to the export procedure that follows.

Before you begin

  • Confirm that the importing and exporting appliances are running the same software version. For access control and its subpolicies (including intrusion policies), the intrusion rule update version must also match.

Click Collapse (collapse icon) and Expand (expand icon) to collapse and expand the list of available configurations.
