export config problem

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello,

i want to export a switch config (crs309) to edit the configuration (change of lan ip)

i try the method “export file=sauv” to have a full configuration export.

But in this file i have not everything.

The “port isolation” settings isn’t on the file.

Is there another export command to have all the settings including port isolation ?

thanks for your time

There are a few optional settings when running export (check the manual at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Configuration+Management#ConfigurationManagement-ConfigurationExportandImport ). You may want to run it with verbose - resulting file is not really appropriate for direct import because it contains items and settings which exist in default config, but it’s the most complete configuration export you can get.

If there are items in your configuration which are missing from export file (even if using parameter verbose), then open support ticket. Additional check would be to run export in the configuration subtree which seems not to be exported properly … to see if you get output in that case.

Thanks for your answer

Do you know if there’s a way to edit a backup file ?

No, backup file is binary blob … not editable (not with tools available to normal users) and not transferable to other devices (conditionally between devices of exactly same model but absolutely a no-no between different device models).
