To export a policy

Purpose

You can export existing global policies to a file in order to make them available for import elsewhere, for example, on another NFM-P server. The following types are available for export:

  • SAP access ingress and access egress policies

  • ACL filter policies (both IPv4 and IPv6)

  • Accounting policies

  • Scheduler policies

  • All SR-based QoS policies

  • All routing policies

See To import a policy for information about importing policies.

Steps
 

Choose Policies→Policy Type from the NFM-P main menu, where Policy Type is the type of policy you want to export. The Policy Type manager form opens.


Choose Global from the Policy scope drop-down menu.


Click Search and choose one or more policies you want to export.


Click Export Policy. The Export Global Policy Details form opens.


Choose the location to save the exported policy:

  1. Choose Server or Local from the File Location menu.

    Policies saved to the server will be saved to /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin/policyExport.

  2. To save the policy locally, click Select and choose the file path.


Assign an Export File Name to the exported policies. You can also enter an optional description.

Note: If you selected more than one policy in Step 3, the exported xml file will contain all the selected policies.


Save your changes and close the form.
