Provisioning Large Numbers of Appliances

When importing a configuration to a new ETEP appliance, specifying the remote and local interface 
automatically disables Transparent mode. If you are importing a configuration to an existing appliance on 
which Transparent mode is enabled, you will need to merge the configurations in order for the new 
import data to be accepted on the ETEP. See 

 

to learn more about merging new configurations with existing ones.

In addition to facilitating the provisioning of new appliances, the Import Configurations feature can be 
used to merge newer configurations with existing ones. First, ETEMS verifies that the appliance name 
and IP address in the CSV file matches that of an existing configuration. If they match, ETEMS merges 
the new information with the existing configuration, replacing the updated fields. 

This behavior is controlled in the Tools Preferences. The default behavior is to reject duplicate 
configurations. To enable configuration merging, go to Edit > Preferences > ETEMS > Tools and click 
the checkbox labeled Import Appliance Configuration: Merge existing configurations. 

The following settings cannot be merged into an existing configuration: appliance name, management IP 
address, product family (device type), or software version. 

local ip address

Local port IP address in dotted decimal notation

local subnet

Local port subnet address in dotted decimal notation

local default gateway

Local port default gateway. If you do not use a default gateway, enter 

0.0.0.0.
