This isn't supported on the R7800. I believe there was a initial beta back then that NG and Duma loaded on R7800s during this time frame. Then after the XR series routers were officially released. NG removed support for the Duma OS on R7800s. Only R7800 stock FW is officially supported on the R7800. This would not be support or allowed on R7800s. Unless you modified the Duma FW to load on the R7800, then that's your choice. NG and NetDuma develop the Duma OS only for the XR series of routers. Adding features as well isn't supported. Only what comes loaded in stock FW is supported.
If your wanting to do more with the R7800, I recommend trying Voxel FW for the R7800 over on smallnetbuilder forum:
