Script to load /etc/hosts, Static DHCP registrations, and Device name etc

---

You are corrrect on "reservations[xx}.  My typo.   My information didn't populate.

I have developed a script to load /etc/hosts, set static DHCP reservations and update device name, and device type from a master excel spreadsheet.   The script works well to create /etc/hosts and sets all the DHCP registrations.   Items set are:

       config set reservations[xx}

       nvram set orbi_dev_name[xx]

       nvram set orbi_dev_name_v2_ntgr[xx]

       nvram set orbi_dev_name_ntgr[xx]

       nvram set orbi_dev_type_ntgr[xx]

and then nvram commit and config commit.   Finish with a reboot.

Updated device information is not showing on the web ui.   If I edit the information on the web ui, nothing changes in nvram.   Clearly, I am missing something.

My practice was similar to yours except:

Everything was "config set".  Nothing was "nvram set".

Reservation does not have an "s".

I opened the web page "Attached Devices", saw that everything was populated, and then clicked "Apply".  Did not do a reboot.
