2865 router config restore was created by g7pkf
Is there a way to get a 2862 config onto a 2865?

i cannot do it, I can import firewall rules and ip objects but not a full configuration, not an issue at present but i suspect the 2862 is going EOL at some point and then it will be an issue. got over 100 2862's live in the field.

Imports from a 2860/2862, seems to work and says is recommended for UK.

Thanks for that will have a play later.

cannot see where you can import from a 2860/2862 to a 2865 though?

Usual page/place, restore box says this device only, text at the bottom of the page says 2860/2862.

I have tried to present the configuration backup from a 2862 (which is on the latest 3.9.4.1 latest from .co.uk with BT) via either USB and via browser upload.
Both approach - gives warning about earlier "config filename mismatch, continue anyway". "Input model not supported by converter"

Is this the first time that moving from a 28nn to a 28nn+1 is not supported?
