No connection after wrong backup file loaded  [SOLVED]

Thu Jul 29, 2021 1:04 pm

Hi,
I tried to load a backup on my hAP ac², but picked a backup file of a hAP lite. After that Winbox did no longer find the Router.

So I tried a netinstall that seemed to work:
sudo ./netinstall -a 192.168.1.3 routeros-arm-6.48.3.npk 
Using server IP: 192.168.1.2
Starting PXE server
Waiting for RouterBOARD...
PXE client: B8:69:F4:4D:3B:3D
Sending image: arm
Discovered RouterBOARD...
Formatting...
Sending package routeros-arm-6.48.3.npk ...
Ready for reboot...
Sent reboot command
After reboot Ethernet 1 seems to stay down, on the Router and the attached switch the port LEDs don't indicate a attached device. the other Ethernet ports show on router ans switch port LEDs on, but no detection/connection via winbox possible.
Netinstall still works in Ethernet 1 with showing the indicator LEDs on Router and switch until reboot.

Would be great if anyone could help.

Seems like (the botched) configuration is kept intact ... netinstall manual offers cmd-line parameter
-r	resets the configuration upon reinstallation procedure, optional

Try using this parameter and see if you can get device to blank (out of factory) state.

...ping...
@mkx Very Thanks!

Windows version defaults are "do not keep old configuration" and "do not set default values"
Linux appear to have set as default "keep old configuration" and "set default values if old configuration is not keeped"
