Migrating reserved address list and capsman to the new router

RouterOS General
1

My RB5009 arrived so now im in the process of making configuration on it and I wanted to know is there any way to migrate all IP address reservations that I made on ax3 ?

Or do I need manually enter about 35-40 devices :confused:

Also is there any way to migrate capsman configuration to the new router ?

2

Dhcp reservations ?
Or what list are you referring to ?

Former case
/ip dhcp-server lease
Then export
Copy paste on new device.

Capsman settings can be exported/imported as well.

Yea, DHCP reservations, thanks.

So it’ just copy paste ? That simple ? Will try tomorrow

I tried to add entry to the cli but when I paste entry to the CLI I get random symbols…

5

Maybe best to paste first in Notepad++ or so, where you can see if there are any strange symbols included.
Also make sure your terminal window is wide enough so there is no / for newline.

I just checked again on RB5009, export and copy/paste doesn’t pose any problems there.

It’s working from Notepad++, when I tried to copy from Notepad (Microsoft) I got some weird symbols in terminal…

7

That’s why I use already for over a decade (I think ?) Notepad++, there you can see if there are weird symbols (and TONS of other stuff you can not do with regular Notepad).

8

Yeah, I will use it to from now on… Strange thing is that there was no strange symbols in Notepad++ but copying from Notepad to Winbox introduced some kind of error ?

9

Classical problem of CR/LF symbols getting mixed up in Notepad.

So I managed to import all config except my WiFi interfaces, in terminal I get this: “failure: must specify exactly one of radio-mac and master-interface”

So I’m trying to add master interfaces first but they don’t have mac stated in config… I tried to add slave interface, they do have mac and parent interfaces stated but of course i get an error that there is no master interface.

11

You’re doing what ?
There is no wifi on RB5009 ??

12

I know, but it will act as capsman controller for 2 cap ax APs so i would like to migrate config from ax3 to rb5009.

13

Then move capsman config.
Not wireless interfaces.

14

That’s done but nothing is shown in interfaces, right now on ax3 i have 6 interfaces shown.

15

Interfaces will come when your capsman is functioning.

And otherwise, you know the drill.
Export…

16

Yea, I will try to connect APs tomorrow and see, I didn’t know that interfaces should appear automatically.
