Pushing/pulling configurations
You can use the sync list configuration page to push or pull sets of configuration objects to or from a target FortiADC appliance. The push/pull operation is a manual operation. It is not repeated automatically.
Before you begin:
- Configuration synchronization must be enabled on the appliances. Go to System > Settings > Basic.
- You must plan for the impact the configuration push/pull has on the target deployment.
- You must have Read-Write permission for System settings.
To push or pull a configuration:
- Go to System > Settings.
- Click the Sync List tab.
- Click Create New and complete the configuration as described in Table 126.
- To execute the push/pull operation, select the configuration from the table, select From or To, and click Sync.
- Check the Status column in the table to see the result of the push/pull operation.
- Log into the target appliance and check the configuration logs (Log & Report > Log Browsing > Event Log > Configuration. Notice the log entries for each configuration change resulting from the push/pull operation.
After you have saved the configuration, it is added to the configuration table.
