Exporting and importing a per-request policy across BIG-IP systems
Export a per-request policy from one BIG-IP system and import
it on another (at the same product version level) to copy a policy across systems.
Per-request policy import does not support the import of custom
categories or the URLs defined for them. Before you import a per-request policy from
one BIG-IP system to another BIG-IP system, you must first list any custom
categories configured on the source system and make sure you have the same custom
categories on the target system. Otherwise, import will fail.
- On the Main tab, click .The Per-Request Policies screen opens.
- Click the link in theExportcolumn for the policy that you want to export.A file downloads.
- Note the list of custom categories:
- Click .
- Expand the Custom Categories list.
- Log in to the Configuration utility on the BIG-IP system where you want to import the per-request policy.
- Verify that the custom categories that exist on the other BIG-IP system also exist on this BIG-IP system:
- Click .
- Expand the Custom Categories list.
- Create any additional custom categories needed to match the list on the other BIG-IP system.The import process does not add URLs to custom categories. To include the URLs defined for a custom category on the source system, you can add them to the target system now or wait until after you import the per-request policy.
- On the Main tab, click .The Per-Request Policies screen opens.
- ClickImport.An Import Policy screen displays.
- InNew Policy Name, type a name.
- ForConfig File Upload, clickBrowse, locate and select the file downloaded from the other BIG-IP system.
