Import and Export Flexible Inline Solution

The flexible inline canvas allows you to import and export a flexible inline solution. The exported solution gets downloaded in to your local folder as an YAML file, which can be imported and deployed again in the following scenarios:

  • Retrieve a solution that was deleted unintentionally
  • Deploy the solution in another device
    • Re-deploy a solution in the device after GigaVUE-FM is upgraded to a new version (in case of issues in the existing solution)

The downloaded YAML file contains the following information:

  • Software version of the GigaVUE‑FM instance and the device on which the solution was created
  • Member, port and configuration information of the various inline configurations such as the Inline Network Alias, Member Ports, Inline Tool Group Alias, and other such details.

  • When deploying a solution after GigaVUE-FM is upgraded to a new version, the source port in the target device must not have been used in any solution.
  • When importing an YAML file, the following configurations specified in the YAML file must match the configurations in the target device:
    • Inline network alias
    • Inline network bundle alias
    • Inline tool alias
    • Inline network LAG alias
    • Inline SSL App alias

To import a file:

  1. Click the Import button on the canvas.
  2. Select the .YAML file, containing the required flexible inline solution, saved in your local folder. The solution appears in the canvas.
  3. Click Deploy to deploy the solution, again.

You can also edit an imported solution on the canvas, and re-export the same as a new solution.

To export a solution:

  1. Create a flexible inline solution and Deploy it.
  2. Click the Export button. The solution is downloaded as an YAML file.
  3. Save the file to the required location.
