Importing and exporting device lists

Device Manager : Managing devices : Importing and exporting device lists

You can import or export large numbers of devices, ADOMs, device VDOMs, and device groups, using the Import Device List and Export Device List toolbar buttons. The device list is a specially formatted text file.


	The Import and Export Device List features are disabled by default. To enable, go to System Settings > Admin > Admin Settings, and enable Show Device List Import/Export under Display Options on GUI.


	Advanced configuration settings such as zone mappings, dynamic interface bindings are not part of import/export device lists. Use the backup/restore function to backup the FortiManager configuration.

There are two ways to create the text file:

• Export Device List: Use this feature to save a list of devices in a text file as a backup that can be imported later.

• Create the file manually: For more information, see “Example text files”.
