On Parent:

1. On the child server console, go to Settings> Agent/Plug-ins> Symantec Management Agent.
2. Expand Symantec Agent Communication profiles.
3. Right Click on child SMP server profile and click on Export.
4. Provide the Encryption password and click on OK and Save it.

On Child:

1. Copy the communication profile .xml file to Parent SMP server.
2. Go to Settings > Agents/Plug-ins > Symantec Management Agent.
3. Right click on Symantec Management Agent Communication profiles and click Import Profile.
4. Browse the copied file, provide the encryption password and click on OK.
5. Now, the child SMP profile will be listed and can be selected in Agent Push settings/other places.
