<H1>Import Data</H1>

The Import Data wizard helps you
transfer DHCP networks, IP addresses, macros, and
options from one Solaris DHCP server to another. The
wizard imports configuration data previously exported from
another Solaris DHCP server.  This effectively moves
support of a set of DHCP clients from one server to
another.
<P>
After you fill in the requested information in each
dialog, click the right-arrow button to advance to the
next dialog.
<P>
The Import Data wizard asks you for the
following information.
<P><HR NOSHADE><P>

<table border=0 cellspacing=4 cellpadding=3 width=490>
        <tr>
        <td width=125 valign="top"><A

        </td>
        <td valign="top">Type the full path to the
        file containing the data you want to import to
        this DHCP server. The file must be an export file that
        was produced by exporting data from a Solaris
        DHCP server.  The file is in a compressed binary data format.

        <td valign="top">If the DHCP server on which
        you are importing data has configuration data
        for any of the same networks, IP addresses,
        macros, or options being imported, that data will be
        replaced with the imported data when
        you select this option. By default,
        conflicting data will not be overwritten.
