Hello,
I have a RB450G and a RB750.
Is there any easy way to move the configuration over from one RB to another.
For me just the copy paste worked… but I guess there must be some more sophisticated way to keep two RB on identical configuration.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Z
A script is probably the best way. Start with an export file from the router you want to use as you master configuration. To simplify things you can trim out anything which you don’t care about (for example is you’re not using bgp or ospf you can leave those out) or anything you’ve left at the default settings. Next change adds to sets where you know default configuration already exists (I took an export of the default router configuration and use it as a basis of comparison) in some cases (like firewall rules or logging) you may need to do some removes first. This may sound complicated, but it’s mostly just simple transformations given an export file, and once it’s done you can reset the router to defaults and reconfigure it within a couple minutes if you ever get in trouble.
This posting discusses the types of transformations needed:

There are also a number of example setup scripts on the wiki which you can use for reference. This is just a sample:

Thank you for the precise and correct answer.
Specially leading me to the named utility.
