[AusNOG] Transfering Vyatta Router Config

[Raphael, Tim]

Hi Daniel,

Under "operational mode” or at the ‘$’ prompt, you can type “show configuration commands” and this will output your config as ‘set’ commands that you can easily copy and paste into another installation.
Or copying the config file directly is also a viable option.

The other alternative, given Vyatta Community Edition is no longer being supported after being purchased by Brocade, is to upgrade to VyOS - a fork of Vyatta Core 6.6 that is still being actively developed.
VyOS is compatible with Vyatta configuration (from my testing) from versions 6.2 or later.

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Yes, copying /config/config.boot is all that is required. You can install
the new router VM using install system/install image, configure the
ethernet interface (set interfaces ethernet eth0 ....) and then simply scp
it from the old router instance and reboot.

The only thing you need to change is to vi the config.boot file before
rebooting and removing the MAC addresses from interfaces. Otherwise when it
comes back it will renumber all of the ethernet interfaces and won't work
as you expect.


Thanks
Nathan

Hi Noggers



I need to move my config from the trial of the paid version of vyatta to
the community edition,



I was wondering if it will be as simple as copying /config/config.boot
from the current server over to the new one, and then somehow restoring
it?



If that?s possible, how would I be best restoring this?



If this is not possible, what would be the best way to achieve this? Other
than manually re writing line by line?



Daniel
