The Export Configuration feature enables you to save the configuration of a Sensor (including NTBA Appliance configuration settings of the Sensor) into a single file for later application to the same Sensor or another Sensor of the same model.
The Export Configuration feature helps to avoid duplication of work when it comes to configuring Sensors. For example, if you are deploying multiple Sensors of the same model with similar configuration, you can configure one Sensor and export its configuration to the rest. This feature is also useful if you plan on restoring the configuration back on the same Sensor or its replacement.
You can include the following when you export a Sensor configuration. The choices vary depending on the Sensor model and software version:
Include HA pair configuration — Includes HA pair information.
Include SSL decryption keys — Includes the SSL decryption keys.
Include firewall policy information — Includes firewall policy information.
Include monitoring port information — Includes monitoring ports configuration information.
Include Quarantine configuration — Includes Quarantine-related configuration for the Sensor and its ports but does not include monitoring port IP addresses.
Include NTBA configuration — This option exports NTBA configuration set.
Note
The exported configuration for a Sensor does not include firewall policies and exception objects details, but includes only the firewall policy name. To export firewall policies and exception objects details for a Sensor, go to Policy → <Admin Domain Name> → Intrusion Prevention → Advanced → Policy Export.
Select Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → <IPS Sensor> → Maintenance → Export Configuration.
The Export Configuration page is displayed.
