CHAPTER 5: Importing a Profile into a New Appliance

Vcontroller 3.2
Exporting a profile from an existing security appliance
A
profile
contains all of the system settings and policy database records of
an operational Firebox Vclass security appliance. Such a file can be
imported into a new, unconfigured device as an efficient means of short-
cutting the set-up process.
To export an XML-format profile, follow these steps:
1
Open the Vcontroller.
2
Click the
Backup/Restore
button.
3
When the
Backup/Restore
window appears, click the
Import/Export
tab
to view its contents.
4
Click
Export
.
A Save File dialog box appears.
5
If you prefer, you can use this dialog box’s navigation features to pick
another folder where this new profile can be stored.
6
You can change the default file name at this time, if you choose.
7
Click
Save
to export the configurations and policies.
When the process is complete, the
Backup/Restore
window reappears.
