Saving Attached Device Edits
Are attached device table edits saved into the router’s backup .cfg file? If so, are these edits restored upon a .cfg restore operation? Is there anyway to transfer/copy/send attached device ...
Sounds about right.
But if a device (with an edited attached devices table entry) disconnects and disappears from the attached devices table for a while, once that device reconnects that device will reappear in the attached devices table AND the previous edits (from before the disconnect) will reappear in the attached devices table.
AND, if I unplug and/or reboot the router those attached devices edits reappear in the table.
So it seems like those edits
MAC address =
Device Model
Device Name
Device Type
are saved somewhere.
Just hoping to serialize those changes for posterity and possible upload into a new router (since those edit take time to perform properly).
Thanks again.
Would this new router be used in same location with same devices or different location?
The table is saved dynamically in a temp location on the routers memory and accessed by the web page when a user selects on Connected Devices. Gives only real time connected devices. However not saved in the backup config file. Only IP address reservations are saved if those are configured.
Saving them in the backup isn't necessary since the transitory nature of devices. What seen on the connected devices table is only for what is currently connected. Once a device disconnects, it goes away from the table.
