Import Options
The import option is used when the system is already configured and you want to bring in an existing
configuration within the switch-profile and sync it with the peer.
When VPC peer switches are already configured, the import operation is performed on both
switches independently. The user must verify that the configurations are the same under SP on peer
switches and then add the sync-peer command to the configuration.
If the configurations are different within the SP when the sync-peer command is added, a merge
failure occurs. Use the show switch-profile status command and determine which configurations
failed to merge.
If one of a pair of VPC switches was previously configured and the other switch was RMA'ed , then
the switch-profile is created on both switches using the sync-peer command.
This means that the configuration from the previously configured switch is imported and committed
on the other switch. Also the configurations from the previously configured switch are moved from
the global-db to the database of the switch-profile.

Description
Enables import mode. Manually enter
configuration and then commit to move the
configuration into SP.
Imports all SP-aware configurations from the
running-config into SP. Use the buffer-move and
buffer-delete commands to remove commands not
to be synced and then commit the configurations.
Imports running configurations for specified
interfaces. Used to only import configurations of
interfaces and not global configurations.
Imports only global and logical interfaces, not
physical interface configurations.
