running config and startup config in v4.0

Fri Feb 01, 2008 7:48 pm

Is it possible or not?
In many cases to have runing config is a great opportunity.
Are MT going to provide such availability in the feature?

One more needs:
Name of the backup file (via backup button) should be like identity-date.backup
I'm tied to rename backup file each time then I want do download it via drug&drop to backup folder on my PC.

Well, I have to admit that I was thinking about this feature pretty often in the past.
If I do something "risky" on a Cisco and it goes wrong, I call a person at the other end and ask to pull the plug. Apart from the reboot everything is fine again.
Such a "feature" would be nice on Mikrotik, too, so that it could be chosen if fresh settings are immediately written to nvram or not.

Hi guys,

I agree this is an EXCELLENT idea.

One other feature I use daily on Juniper JunOS and Cisco IOS are these:

JunOS has:

commit confirm
This commits the config changes you have made, and starts using them, however if you do not confirm them (due to being disconnected) it will reverse the changes, letting you back in.

IOS has:
reload in 5
You type this BEFORE making changes, then make them, if you do not cancel the reload (due to being disconnected) the device will reboot and load the "startup-config", letting you back in.
This of course means you should NOT do a "copy running-config to startup-config" !!!!! Otherwise it will reload your bung config.


Having something similar on RouterOS would be fantastic.

Hi!

I just want to reactivate that old thread.

Are there any news about this? I really miss that feature. Safe-Mode is not an option because people often forget to enable it.

The "cisco-like" "copy running-config startup-config" is great because there is the option to get back to a working config with a power-cycle...

Stril
