What does this message means about XMC "Import Site Configuration"

[Rahman_Duran]

Hi,

I was using "User Device Groups" in XMC to group same location devices. Recently I start to create "Sites" for these locations under /World. When I select several devices, change their "default site" to "World/Arhavi" and press save button it asks me about overwriting confirmation.

Site "/World/Arhavi" is brand new with no custom configuration. Devices are production devices that have several configurations on them. So If I say "yes" what will XMC overwrite? Will it update "Site" data with running device configs? Or it will destroy the running devices configuration completely? I think this warning text should be more elaborate. If it is going to destroy running devices config, it should say so.

Regards,

Rahman

The 8.5.5 will be releases this week. consider upgrade as there were many bugs fixed since 8.5

I would expect the PVID and Tagged VLANS to change within the view to reflect what is actually configured on the switch.

The goal is the customer is coming away from Netsight to XMC GUI and using the Sites function, what i’m trying to do is get XMC to reflect in the site what is configured on the switch so that when the customer uses the sites function, port templates etc they don’t mistakenly override port specific configs.

Currently running version 8.2.6.5 of XMC

Hi Robert.

what exactly “remain unchanged” and you expect to change? what version have you tried? I remember some changes were made in the code...

@Zdenek Pala Thanks, i tried that but the data in the configure device window doesn’t change other than the port status. The PVID, Tagged VLANS and all other columns remain unchanged and show what is configured in the site and not what is actually configured on the device.
