Currently have an RB1200 and want to replace it with a RB1100AHx4. Was hoping to replicate the routing functions and address lists. What the best way to accomplish this to ensure least amount of problems. Was thinking that i would need to export a complete config and then search and replace the interface names and ports with those that the RB1100AHX4 uses and then import the config..
Has anyone done this before? Any things to look out for?
Thanks!
First, run this command: /export compact file=Config.rsc. This will put the plain text config file under the Files menu. Download that to your computer, and read it in Notepad. Now, you can apply (copy paste) them into the terminal on your new MikroTik. You can’t simply paste them all, but rather you’ll need to be thoughtful about the order (make Bridge first, set it’s IP, etc.).
you have got it right.
plus, upgrade the RB1200 to latest firmware, before export your config.
upgrade the RB1100 to the latest so both are on the same version.
I always past the script to the new device by blocks so I can easily spot anything was not executed correctly. it takes longer but at least you won’t be in a situation where something does not work and you have to compare the config line by line…
