One-Way Import

This is a one-way import only. Devices are created in NetBox but changes made in NetBox are not synced back to Catalyst Center. Maximum 25 devices can be imported at a time.

After import, use the Catalyst Center tab on each device to sync additional fields like serial number, platform, and interfaces.

Note

Devices already in NetBox (matched by hostname or serial) are shown with a green "In NetBox" badge and cannot be selected for import.
