This section describes option
7
 (Import configuration) from the Gateway System Settings option in the
API Gateway
 main menu.
Use this option to import the system configuration from a payload file. For security reasons, importing is possible only from the user directory.
When importing, you can either choose to update (merge) or overwrite existing data.
  • By default, the import will attempt to 
    update
     the existing configuration. Examples:
         Payload contains:
     ETH1, ETH2, ETH3
         System contains:
     ETH1, ETH2
    Result:
     ETH1 and ETH2 on the system will be updated with the contents of ETH1 and ETH2 in the payload. ETH3 in the payload is ignored because it does not exist in the system.
         Payload contains:
     ETH1 
         System contains:
     ETH1, ETH2
    Result:
     ETH1 will be updated on the system; ETH2 will remain unchanged.
  • You can choose to 
    overwrite
     the existing configuration instead. Examples:
         Payload contains:
     ETH1, ETH2, ETH3
         System contains:
     ETH1, ETH2
    Result:
     ETH1 and ETH2 on the system will be overwritten by ETH1 and ETH2 in the payload. ETH3 will be created in the system.
         Payload contains:
     ETH1 
         System contains:
     ETH1, ETH2
    Result:
     ETH1 will be replaced on the system using the payload version. ETH2 will be removed.
