Import and Export of APIC config

[JefferySung53210]

Is it possible to import and export APIC config for a ACI Simulator 3.2?

I have tried and it is giving errors.

Hey mate,

Yes fully supported.  You can do a config/export task (UI) or you can leverage the API and use something a little more slick like Postman to redeploy your config. What errors are you seeing?  Reachability?  Need more info.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your reply. I reported this to Cisco TAC support, and they said importing function might not be possible for ACI Simulator. This is what I encounter when I try to import a config. The SCP/SFTP server is on the same subnet as the APIC, and I have tested the SCP server can be connected.
