Importing configuration files to archive

To import a configuration file to archive:

1. In the Device List or Map View, right-click a device, then click Properties. The Device Properties dialog appears.
2. Click Tasks. The Tasks section of Device Properties appears.
3. Click Import. The Import Configuration Archive dialog appears.
4. Click Browse to navigate to the location on your directory where the file exists.
5. Enter the file's Archive Key. The Archive Key describes the type of the configuration file, such as running-config or startup-config.
6. Optionally, enter a Description for the file to briefly describe the archived configuration file.
7. Click to select Retain if you do not want the imported archive to be deleted.

Note: The maximum number of archives stored per archive key is set on the New or Edit WhatsConfigured Task dialog. Archives marked as Retain are stored in addition to other archvies. Archives not marked as Retain are deleted when a task adds an archive that exceeds the maximum number specified for that task.
