Re: OT : Loading config to router from remote server

There's also the overlooked 'config network tftp/ftp/http://path' command
rather than the standard 'conf t'. It can take partial configs or you
could try 'config replace tftp/ftp/http://path' to do a full replace. I've
found that the replace basically just defaults the current configuration so
if there are dependencies it won't replace correctly. Still neat. I
imagine you could write some type of PHP/perl web app to customize the
configuration based on IP, but wouldn't work like that out of the box.
