Instead of manually configuring one, or many objects, this tool allows you to import them via a CSV or JSON file. Furthermore, you can export your BloxOne data. This allows you to do various things, like take the configuration of one BloxOne account, and apply it to a new one! These files are also easily modified, meaning you can alter them in a text editor to add, change, or delete objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, BloxOne\u2019s Import and Export supports a wide variety of BloxOne objects:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DNS, DHCP, and IPAM objects<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-Premise Hosts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tags<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Blog post will show you how easy it is to import and export your BloxOne data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prerequisites\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to a BloxOne Account via the Infoblox Cloud Services Portal (CSP)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Export BloxOne Objects<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log into the Infoblox CSP at csp.infoblox.com.
