What types of settings are specifically omitted during a partial config import?

During a partial config import in SonicWall's Secure Mobile Access, node-specific and network-specific settings are specifically omitted. This is important because a partial import is designed to allow administrators to bring in specific configuration elements without overwriting the existing node and network settings that are tailored to the current environment. Node-specific settings may include configurations particular to certain devices or site-specific parameters that could be disrupted by importing new settings. Similarly, network-specific settings might encompass IP addresses, routing protocols, and other configurations unique to the network’s operational requirements. By excluding these kinds of settings, SonicWall ensures that the integrity and functionality of the current setup remain intact while allowing other, more general configurations to be updated or modified as needed.
