Import and Export Configuration Files

Upload a Configuration File

You can upload a configuration file that contains prefixes, ASNs, policies, and notification settings. When you upload a configuration file, it overwrites any existing data of the same type. For example, if you previously added prefixes and your configuration file contains empty prefixes, your existing prefixes are deleted.


Note

Before making significant configuration changes, such as uploading a new configuration file, we recommend you download and save your existing configuration file to serve as a backup file. See Download a Configuration File for more information.
