import

Use the import command to import the controller‘s configuration from a file that was earlier exported from a previous platform or an old software release. If you want to import the controller‘s data from a remote FTP or SCP server, you must use the copy configuration command. For more information, see copy. Use the no import command to remove the specified file from the local or flash drive.

[no] import filename | number

Parameters

filename The name of the .zip or .cli file that contains the controller‘s configuration. If the export file is located on a flash drive, the string “(flash)” must be suffixed to the end of the specified file name.
number Specifies the index number of the import file. You can use the show import command to find the restore file‘s index number.
