Settings Capture

[KenEsq]

Is there a tool that can either read the settings backup file or can parse through the router and create a text file of all the settings.

Trying to remember (or read screenshots) of everything I've changed/configured when cleaning nvram always leads to a problem or two.

Keep a text backup of it. Assuming a USB disk mounted as sda1, for example:

nvram show | sort > /mnt/sda1/settings.txt

You mean create one by hand or is there a tool that will generate a text file of all the current settings?

I'm not complaining, just trying to figure out the best way to do this for multiple routers/APs.

I put up a tool, but it never got that much of a response. Maybe it can help you out.

The command I wrote will generate that text file if you run it over SSH/Telnet.

Thank you.
