I'm not a network administrator, but I play one at home. I have this Linksys AX5400 router on which I have configured some DHCP reserved addresses. When I need to reboot the router, I would like to be able to restore these settings from disk. Is there any way to backup and restore these settings with a command? My main PC runs Ubuntu Linux.

  • But even for a consumer product I would expect DHCP reservations to be kept during restarts. I'd contact Linksys support about this. – Gerald Schneider Jun 26 '22 at 05:42
  • I should say that my googling was for DHCP reservation on the Linksys router. There is much to be found on DHCP reservation, but it's mostly about a DHCP server, not a router. – Steve Cohen Jun 26 '22 at 15:49

    A silent downvote for off topic content is not something I'd consider insulting. It's merely an indication that it's off topic. – vidarlo Jun 26 '22 at 17:51
  • @SteveCohen it can be insulting. There’s a process for off-topic questions. – Louis Waweru Jun 28 '22 at 01:57

    Yes. When I originally posted I was unaware of the limited mandate of this group. Later, I got something telling me a better place to post. A comment to that effect would have avoided all the rancor. The original -1 listed all sorts of other possible reasons including lack of research, which I regarded as insulting. Really, a comment instead of a -1 or in addition to a -1 would be more polite and useful. Or a banner headline saying don’t post here if you’re not a corporate sysadmin. A bare -1 signals “beneath contempt”. That’s my opinion, anyway. Thanks for your comment. – Steve Cohen Jun 29 '22 at 02:32

Actually there is a backup/restore option on the Admin page of the router that I missed. Neither the documentation nor tech support mentioned this.

Sorry for bothering the group.
