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.
