If needed, in both the Temporary IP and Mask fields,
type the appropriate entries. This temporary IP
address must be in the same subnet as your
administrative workstation.
The Temporary IP and Mask entries are used to configure
interface 0 (Private) of the target Vclass appliance so that the
XML file can be transferred to that appliance. The entries are
temporary because the interface will be reconfigured with the IP
address information defined in the XML file after the appliance
has been restarted.

Editing an exported configuration file

If the exported file is intended for use in other Firebox
Vclass appliances, you can make changes to its contents, as
described in this section. Because the configuration file is in
XML format, you can open it with any text or XML editor
to make changes to the contents. After this is done and you
have saved the changes, you can then import the configu-
ration file into a Firebox Vclass appliance.
Do not attempt to alter or delete the login/TEXT password
text. This text is encrypted during the export process. You
must use Vcontroller to change your password after the
import has been successfully concluded.
