The switch import needs to include the following:

For example:

If you do not have access to the Switch Import then send the Switch Import file to the Serraview Support Team, use the File Upload's category Other and include a comment.

5. Complete a trial run of the import, refer to Trial Run Imports.

Do NOT use the Archive Untouched Switches check box and this must be UNCHECKED. If this is checked then any switch in the system that is NOT on the list will be archived.
