To import a foreign configuration, you must do the following: • Enable security to allow importation of locked foreign configurations. (You can import unsecured or unlocked configurations when security is disabled.) • Run a scan for foreign configurations. • If a locked foreign configuration is present and security is enabled, enter the security key and unlock the configuration. • Import the foreign configuration.
