Table A-1 describes the CSV file formats supported in Cisco PVM.

Table A-1 Supported CSV File Formats

Format	Description
DCR v3	Generated by the CiscoWorks DCR Export Utility. Note For information on generating this file type, see User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.
User-defined	Supported through the inclusion of a header record within the CSV file, which specifies the meta data for describing and parsing the file.

Only devices that do not already exist in the system will be imported. If a device already exists in Cisco PVM, the system logs an exception to the system log table.
