Question about loading custom settings file.

Is there any way to load nvrambak.bin (created via web interface "backup" option) and apply it on router by some command when connected via telnet/SSH?

Yes it is possible ....

Yes it is possible ....

1. Transfer the backup file on the board (via ftp/scp).
2. Next use the following command on the board console (through telnet/ssh) to restore the configuration...
* nvram restore path_of_backup_file

But I would rather suggest you to use WebUI to restore the router settings.

yes, you can take backup of

yes, you can take backup of current settings using the following command ..

* nvram backup name_of_backup_file

The backup file will be created on the board. You have to transfer it to your machine.
