    • If you clicked Disable Panorama Policy and Object, in the edit dialog box, select Import Panorama Policy and Objects before disabling and then click OK.
    • If you clicked Disable Device and Network Template, select Import Device and Network Template before disabling and then click OK.

  4. Log in to the device that was removed from Panorama and go to Device > Setup > Operations > Save > Save named configuration snapshot.
  5. Enter a name that helps to identify the configuration. In this example, it is pan2fg.
