Configuration Reset "Mikrotik"

Quoting one of e-books

Configuration Reset:
Command name: /system reset


Description:

The command clears all configuration of the router and sets it to the default including the login

name and password ('admin' and no password), IP addresses and other configuration is erased,

interfaces will become disabled. After the reset command router will reboot.

Command Description:

reset - erases router's configuration

Notes:

If the router has been installed using netinstall and had a script specified as the initial configuration,

the reset command executes this script after purging the configuration. To stop it doing so, you will

have to reinstall the router.

Example:
[admin@MikroTik] > system reset
Dangerous! Reset anyway? [y/N]: n

The Import Command "Mikrotik"

The Import Command
Command name: /import

Description:

The root level command /import [file_name] restores the exported information from the specified
file. This is used to restore configuration or part of it after a /system reset event or anything that
causes configuration data loss.
Note that it is impossible to import the whole router configuration using this feature. It can only be
used to import a part of configuration (for example, firewall rules) in order to spare you some
typing.

Command Description:

file=[filename] - loads the exported configuration from a file to router

Example:

To load the saved export file use the following command:

[admin@MikroTik] > import address.rsc

Opening script file address.rsc

Script file loaded successfully

[admin@MikroTik] >

The Export Command "Mikrotik"

The Export Command
Command name: /export

Description:

The export command prints a script that can be used to restore configuration. The command can be

invoked at any menu level, and it acts for that menu level and all menu levels below it. If the

argument from is used, then it is possible to export only specified items. In this case export does

not descend recursively through the command hierarchy. export also has the argument file, which

allows you to save the script in a file on the router to retrieve it later via FTP.

Command Description:

file=[filename] - saves the export to a file
from=[number] - specifies from which item to start to generate the export file

Example:

[admin@MikroTik] > ip address print

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE

0 10.1.0.172/24 10.1.0.0 10.1.0.255 bridge1

1 10.5.1.1/24 10.5.1.0 10.5.1.255 ether1

[admin@MikroTik] >

To make an export file:

[admin@MikroTik] ip address> export file=address
[admin@MikroTik] ip address>

To make an export file from only one item:

[admin@MikroTik] ip address> export file=address1 from=1
[admin@MikroTik] ip address>

To see the files stored on the router:

[admin@MikroTik] > file print

# NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME

0 address.rsc script 315 dec/23/2003 13:21:48

1 address1.rsc script 201 dec/23/2003 13:22:57

[admin@MikroTik] >

To export the setting on the display use the same command without the file argument:

[admin@MikroTik] ip address> export from=0,1
# nov/13/2004 13:25:30 by RouterOS 2.9
# software id = MGJ4-MAN
#/
ip address
add address=10.1.0.172/24 network=10.1.0.0 broadcast=10.1.0.255 \
interface=bridge1 comment="" disabled=no
add address=10.5.1.1/24 network=10.5.1.0 broadcast=10.5.1.255 \
interface=ether1 comment="" disabled=no
[admin@MikroTik] ip address>
