Upgrade path 2920=>2926 was created by manicguitarist
I have a 2920 with long and complex firewall rules, VPN MoTP secrets and all of that.
I am upgrading to a 2926.
How can I transfer the configuration from one to the other?
Thanks,
M

Glanced at the Vigor 2926 "Live Demo" @ http://eu.draytek.com:12926/

Seems to imply you can't do it in one step :(

Code:
Note: 1. When loading a configuration file from a model in the Supported Model List please note that features and functionality can vary between models so please manually verify the settings after the restoration. 2. Auto backup to USB: if settings do not change, configuration doesn't backup. 3. Auto backup to USB: if configuration backup multiple times in one hour, the old file will be overwritten with the same filename. Supported Model List Model Firmware Version Vigor2925 3.8.4.2, or later


You might have to resort to listing your existing settings in a Telnet session and building scripts for a Telnet scripting agent. But that might not help with all the long-forgotten secret passwords.

You could buy a 2925 first - that can read 2920 configs :wink:

Urg.
This is a proper PITA.
At least it means that my customers on the 2920 can easily consider other manufacturers as opposed to it being easier with Draytek.
