Dbedit is the best way to go. The syntax pretty well documented in the CLI.PDF file included on the Windows NGX CD (usually CD 2 under Docs).
Using the "-f" option you can get dbedit to import a script file which will create the necessary objects for you. All you need to do is have the correct syntax. If you already have the objects in text format, I suggest you import it into Excel first so that you can massage the data into the correct syntax. For every host you wish to add, you need at least 2 lines. For example: "create host_plain <objectname>" "modify network_objects <objectname> ipaddr <ip>" "update_all" The update_all you can put at the end of the script file to save all the objects. Hint: You can add all the objects first, then change all their IP addresses. It makes cutting and pasting from excel into the file a lot easier. E.g. "create host_plain objectname1" "create host_plain objectname2" "create host_plain objectname3" "modify network_objects objectname1 ipaddr 10.1.1.1" "modify network_objects objectname2 ipaddr 10.1.1.2" "modify network_objects objectname3 ipaddr 10.1.1.3" "update_all" The cli.pdf file will give you the syntax to add hosts into groups as well. Hope this helps.

I'd like to know if there is a way to at least import nodes (we have over a 1000 of them and copying them by hand would take a lot of precious time...). We exported them on the current firewall and we have them in text format. BR SAMO NASLOVNIKU! / ONLY FOR THE INTENDED RECIPIENT!
