Yeah... except it doesn't work, at least on 6.1.6. Pull out the stuff I don't want to overwrite, upload the file and... SSID, WPA2 key, traffic shaping, device name, etc. all gone. They just go to factory default values. Except for what's in the config file, VLANs, bridges, etc. Not very helpful. This is friggin stupid.

    Ugh. This is what was tripping me up:

    radio.1.status=enabled
    radio.status=enabled

    has to be in the config file or the very vague "invalid" crap
    comes up.

    Lame.

        The config file definitely has unix formatting, which is why
        I'm editing it with vi.

        I don't want this to end up changing the SSIDs, WPA keys,
        device names, etc. So I strip out those elements, save,
        upload and I get.... Invalid configuration file structure.

        And yes, I'm using the upload configuration button right
        below the download configuration button.

        I'm bout to get my .308 out and shoot these things off the
        towers.

            Yeah that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Management

            I was thinking this would qualify as some pretty basic
            changes. Apparently not.

            We upgraded everything to 6.1.6. I set up an NSM5,
            downloaded the backup and stripped the device-specific
            stuff. Go import it and it says invalid. WTF. I don't
            know. I'll screw with it more tomorrow.

            For those with simple configs it's probably fine.

            If you have several interfaces and vlans per CPE with a
            few bridges, it's more of a pain (from experience).

                All the config file does is populate the listed

                after loading it. Id pull a fresh config file from
                one of the units and edit it, removing anything you
                dont want changed. It could just be a change in a

                        what some defaults are, and there are
                        things hidden in the config file that
                        aren't in the webui.

                        Config also seems to change things from
                        time to time.

                        Also config order is sometimes important
                        depending on what you are doing.
