XML converter tool for ACL rules

The XML converter tool helps you to convert ACL rule definitions in CSV format to XML
format. You can then manually import the converted XML file to the Manager.
This tool enables you to import ACLs in bulk without using the ACL Editor user interface
manually.
Note:
Manager, see Importing an ACL,
When you install the Manager, the XML converter tool is seen as a batch file
(aclxmlconverter.bat) in the diag folder within your Network Security Platform installation
folder. (For example C:\Program Files\McAfee\ Network Security Manager\App\ diag
folder)
In the CSV file that you want to import, you need to provide the ACL rule information in a
specific format. Each line should contain the following information in the same order of
columns.
SRC_CIDR, DEST_CIDR, ACL_ACTION, ACL_LOGGING, ACL_NAME
SRC_CIDR
DEST_CIDR
ACL_ACTION
ACL_LOGGING
ACL_NAME
A sample CSV file that can be converted to XML by this tool is given below.
