Hi

I am looking into ways of flashing a RUT240 router over SSH with a config file. We have a config file which has been generated by the web interface, and I would like to know if there is are commands which allows the loading of the config file to the router?

Hello,

  

Thank you for reaching out!

Backup can be restored via SSH, however, it is not recommended, as certain configuration files might not transfer correctly. This is because when uploading a backup using WebUI, certain scripts are run that ensures, that the restore procedure transfers everything.

However, if you still plan on using SSH, then the procedure is as follows:

• Using WinSCP (or any other SCP protocol supporting app) transfer your backup file to the router (let's say /tmp);
• Connect to the router via SSH, and run the command sysupgrade -r [file_location];
• After the restore procedure is done (command echo $0 should output 0) run the reboot command.

And that should be it!

Let me know if any more help is needed.
