Editing IP Addresses with CSV File Import
Edit IP addresses that have changed by uploading the new IP addresses
in a CSV file import.
This method is best for updating many IP addresses quickly.
To edit IP addresses with CSV file import:
1. Export the Nodes CSV file. See
Export Nodes
(on page 149).
2. Open the exported file in the spreadsheet program, such as
Microsoft Excel. Immediately save the file as a .csv, to ensure that it
has the correct file type.
3. Find the rows that contain the IP addresses you want to change.
Enter the new IP addresses in the cells.
4. In the first cell of each row you want to change, delete the "ADD"
command, and enter the command "MODIFY".
5. Delete all rows of information you do not want to change.
6. Save the file as a .csv.
