(which should be named Default Objects Catalog for this

example). View the two exported CSV files:

„

Default Objects Catalog.csv contains the individual

objects contained in the catalog.

„

Object Types.csv contains data specific to the object

types contained in the catalog.

Note: If you plan on importing this data back into Juniper

Aspect it works best if you do not rename the “Object

Types.csv” file. Otherwise, you have to specify the object

types file manually as the importer will not be able to

automatically detect which CSV file contains Object

Type data and which contains Object data.
You can now see what the Default Object Catalog CSV

file looks like and use it as an example as you create your

own.
