Import Auto-Placement Rules

Example:

You can import Auto-Placement rules using the Import button. Comma delimited files are used to import Auto-Placement rules. The format of the file is:

autoplacement_rule,server,Path,Network Address,IP Range,MAC Address,DNS
                Server,Uses DHCP, Device Name,Model Name,Firmware Version,Serial Number

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 Auto-Placement rules must be autoplacement_rules.
At this time, the only valid server name is localhost.
Fields may be blank with no blank space between the commas (i.e., ,,).
Path names must begin with a slash (/) and include a slash (/) between network levels. Also, the path must already be present in the existing network tree.
For fields with a range, you must include a range even if there is only one IP address or one MAC address (For Example 1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1).
