Import Relay Server Information

You can import relay server information using the Import Parameters button. Comma delimited files are used to import relay server information. The format of the file is:

relay_params,server,folderpath,deviceHost,deviceProtocol,devicePath,devicePort,deviceUsername,
            devicePassword,applianceHost,applianceProtocol,appliancePath,appliancePort,applianceUsername,
            appliancePassword

Note

Although the above format is shown on multiple lines, each import entry must be one line with no line breaks or carriage returns.

There are different ways to create a comma delimited file but the most trouble-free way is to use a text editor, such as Notepad.

Things to Remember:

The first field for importing relay server information must be relay_params.
At this time, the only valid server name is localhost.
Servers must be specified in pairs. You must specify a Device Relay Server and an Appliance Relay Server in one entry.
If the server information is the same, you still must enter information for both servers. Also, if the information for both relay servers match, the Same as Device Relay Server checkbox is selected in the GUI after the import.
Normally, you will supply a username and password. However, when using the TFTP protocol, the username and password fields can be left blank with no blank space between the commas (i.e., ,,).
deviceHost designates the IP address of the host.
deviceProtocol designates the protocol to use for communications. Valid protocols are FTP, TFTP, SFTP, SCP, HTTP, or HTTPS. These are the same protocols listed in the Protocol drop-down menu of the GUI.
folderpath designates the network level path and must included a slash (/) at the beginning of the path and between network levels. Also, the path must already be present in the existing network tree. To specify an appliance level, just enter the appliance name.
devicePath and appliancePath designate the path where the configuration file is located on the individual servers.
devicePort and appliancePort designate the port to use for communications.

Examples:

relay_params,localhost,/ADSP,172.17.0.80,ftp,/,21,anonymous,anonymous,172.17.0.80,ftp,/,21,anonymous,anonymous
relay_params,localhost,/US/Southeast/AirDefense,172.17.0.80,ftp,/,21,anonymous,anonymous,172.17.0.80,ftp,/,21,anonymous,anonymous
relay_params,localhost,/relay_test,172.17.0.80,tftp,/,69,,,172.17.0.85,ftp,/,21,anonymous,anonymous

If you have a Central Management license, you can copy the Relay Server configuration to all your appliances.
