If the network will be imported from a file, the file must first be created navigating to the path control network map, clicking the More button, and choosing Export Network. The network is exported as a .zip file.

Go to Path Simulation, Network Map and perform one of the following:

1. If opening the path simulation network map for the first time, the Import Network form will appear.

2. Click the More button on the path simulation network map view and choose Import Network. The Import Network form appears.

Perform one of the following:

1. Enable the From Live Network radio button, then either the Network radio button or the Network and LSPs radio button to specify which elements of the network to import, then configure the parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   Remote CAS server IP address	The IP address of the server from which to retrieve a security token
   Username	The username with which to log in to the server
   Password	The password to be used with the specified username

2. Enable the From File radio button, then either click browse to select the file created in Step 1, or drag and drop the file into the Import Network form.

Click IMPORT. The Network topology is imported.

Note: The default maximum file size for an imported network topology is 5 M. This can be modified by editing the arm-system.conf file as follows:

nrcp {

file-import

{ max_file_size_in_byte = <desired_size> }

}
