Importing the CSV File

On listing pages, you can download a CSV (Comma-separated values) file which contains the list of elements by clicking the "Export to CSV" button on each page.
You can edit the exported CSV file with a tool like text editor and import it again as authentication data on the System Settings > System Information page.

> Note

> > CSV files exported on the Device > Active Device List page or the Switches > Active AMF Member List page have different format than the usual Authentication Data. So you cannot be imported on the System Settings > System Information page.

## Character Encoding

Downloaded CSV files are encoded in UTF-8.

> Note

> > When you upload a CSV file to AMF Security mini, make sure that the file is encoded in UTF-8 if it contains non US-ASCII characters (If the file only contains US-ASCII characters, it is already in UTF-8 because US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 by its definition). If you upload the file in the encoding other than UTF-8, the upload fails with an error message.

## Exportable Information

The following sections describe which elements are exported to a CSV file on each listing page.

### Conventions

In a CSV file, data fields are enclosed by a pair of double-quote (") characters and separated by a comma (,).

> Note

> > In the example below, a half-width space is displayed after the comma (,) for screen display, but the CSV file actually exported does not include the half-width space after the comma.
> > Also, an arrow (↓) is displayed at the end of the line to distinguish the wrapping of the screen display and the line break of the actual data, but the CSV file actually exported does not have the arrow at the end of the line.
> > Importing a CSV file which contains data characters outside of double-quotes causes an error.

- A string in gray box represents a keyword (a reserved word). It should be written as it is (left untouched).
  sesc.device ↓
- A string in violet box represents a variable data field (e.g. a string or a number).
  (Device ID) ↓
- A string enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) is optional and can be omitted.

### Device

A CSV file which can be exported on the Device > Device List page and can be imported as device definitions has the following format.
◼ Example of an exported file
The default filename of an exported device list is "device.csv".
The first line is a comment line. The comment line is not required when importing a CSV file.
Device ID, Tag, Note, and Interface of Add Device page are exported with the table name "device", and the security policy is exported with the table name "rule".

"#","table","Device ID","Note","Tag" ↓
"+","device","device_1","device_note","User_A","%ports","%port","00:00:5e:00:53:20","MAC_name","MAC_note" ↓
"+","rule","device_1","sesc.device","","pass","10","True","%options","m_location_name=1F","m_schedule_name=March Event","s_network_name=Sales" ↓

◼ Format
A basic format of a device record ("table" = "device") is as follows.

"+", "device", "(Device ID)", "(Tag)", "(Note)", "%ports", "%port", "(MAC Address)", "(Interface Name)", "(Note)" ↓

If the device has more than one interfaces, repeat fields after "%port" (i.e. "%port", "MAC Address", "Interface Name" and "Note").

"+", "device", "(Device ID)", "(Tag)", "(Note)", "%ports", "%port", "(MAC Address)", "(Interface Name)", "(Note)", "%port", "(MAC Address)", "(Interface Name)", "(Interface Note)", ... ↓

To attach a security policy to the device, place a rule record ("table" = "rule") right after the device record ("table" = "device") in the following format.

"+", "rule", "(Device ID)", "(Requester)(When added on the AMF Security mini Web setting screensesc.device)", "((Reason)(Blank if added on AMF Security mini Web setting screen)", "pass", "(Priority)", "True", "%options"[, "m_location_name=(Device ID)"][, "m_ofs_port=(port)"][, "m_schedule_name=(Schedule ID)"][, "m_network_name=(Network ID)"] ↓

Each field of security policy can be omitted if it's not required.

- Location - m_location_name=(Location ID)
- Switch Port - m_ofs_port= (Port Name)
- Schedule - m_schedule_name=(Schedule ID)
- Network - m_network_name=(Network ID)

To apply multiple security policies to a single device, put multiple rule records ("table" = "rule") right after the device record ("table" = "device"). If there are more than one rule records with the same priority value, only the last record is used (the later record overwrites the previous one).

### Active Device List

The CSV file that can be exported from the Device > Active Device List page displays the MAC addresses status displayed on the screen. The format is different from normal device authentication data.
So you cannot be imported on the System Settings > System Information page. Refer to Appendix > Creating Authentication Data from CSV for instructions on how to edit them with a tool such as text editor.

Group ID, Note and Enabled on the Group > Add UnAuth Group page are exported with the table name "group". Security policies are exported with the table name "rule".

"#","table","Group ID","Note","Action","Enabled" ↓
"+","group","Event Guest","","fail","true" ↓
"+","rule","Event Guest","sesc.unauthGroup","","pass","30","True","%options","m_location_name=1F Conference Room","m_schedule_name=October Event","s_network_name=Guest" ↓

◼ Format
A basic format of a group record ("table" = "group") is as follows.

"+", "group", "(Group ID)", "(Note)", "(detect:Detected only UnAuth Group,pass:Normal UnAuth Group without security policy settings,fail:Normal UnAuth Group with security policy settings)", "(true:Valid orfalse:Invalid)" ↓

To attach a security policy to the group, place a rule record ("table" = "rule") right after the device record ("table" = "group") in the following format.

"+", "rule", "(Group ID)", "(Requester)(When added on the AMF Security Web setting screensesc.unauthGroup)", "(Group Note)", "(pass:pass ordetect:Detection only)", "(Priority)", "True", "%options"[, "m_location_name=(Location ID)"][, "m_schedule_name=(Schedule ID)"][, "m_network_name=(Network ID)"] ↓

Each field of security policy can be omitted if it's not required.

- Location - m_location_name=(Location ID)
- Schedule - m_schedule_name=(Schedule ID)
- Network - m_network_name=(Network ID)

## Importing the CSV File

You can export authentication data to and import from a CSV file on the System Settings > System Information page.
A CSV to upload can be either the one downloaded from the System Settings > System Information page, or the one exported from the individual element's listing pages.
When you import multiple CSV files exported from the different listing pages, make sure to import them in the following order.

1. Security Policy Definitions
   You can import Location, Network and Schedule in any order.
   However, you must import the AMF Member definitions before importing the location definitions.
   - Network
   - AMF Member ⇒ Location
   - Schedule
2. Device and the UnAuth Group Definitions
   You can import Device and the UnAuth Group data in any order.
   - Device
   - UnAuth Group
3. Action Definitions
   After importing AMF Member, Security policies (Network, Location, Schedule), Device, and authentication data of the UnAuth Group, import action definitions at the end.

If you import CSV files in wrong order and data reference by the imported data does not exist, an error occurs.
For example, when uploading device authentication data, describe any ID that is not registered in AMF Security, even one of Location ID, Schedule ID, Network ID, Switch ID, and Switch Port specified in the security policy If you do, the import fails and the device authentication data is not updated.
