Hi,


In same cases we need to apply large configuration like prefix-list (I already should applied 20K lines in a operaion task)  and access-list, it can take a long time and consume a critical period in your maintanance window, as a workround, let me introduce the feature "load configuration" available in VRP running in devices as NE40 routers, CE switches and more.


1 Step - Create a .cfg file with the configurtion to be applied, in the example I used just a few lines but it can be used with a large configurations as whell.


.cfg file example


2 Step - Copy the .cfg file to the local disk, for example with ftp or tftp.


Copy and verify the disk


3 Step - Load the configuration with the option "merge".


load config with merge option


4 Step - After the configuration be loaded you can check it before commit to the device.


Check before apply


5 Step - Apply the configuration with "commit" and verify the script already running in the current configuration.


Verify if the configuration was running

Hi,
The loading operation might take a few seconds, but the apply or commit operation might not be too long.
Actually, you can consider this operation as configuring the router in an extra configuration file, and apply it in a single commit operation.
