I want to swap out a 450g that is doing dhcp for 75 accounts

If set up the same way, will the new one hand out the same addresses to
the accounts on line?

thanks

It will if you make the leases static

thanks for the response

yes in the original router all addresses were marked as static

I will try the switch tonight

thanks again

in Ottawa

I did try and it was not handing out the same ones and soon had a customer calling and I was
seeing ip conflicts.

Any ideas: should the router be disconnected for five or ten minutes perhaps?

Just copy over DHCP lease records and you'll get the same addresses.

from the old one run:
Then simply paste the output into the new one.

thank you both, I will try again after there is not much traffic

thank you

I tried in terminal (don't see export in winbox)
I copy the screen but when I transfer to new router I get "input does not match value of server"
not sure what part to copy

goes on for the whole list

got it with everyone's help

the name of the server was not the same in both routers

changed name to match and all is good

thanks again
