Gargoyle Forum

Maybe I'm a little bit anal about these things, but with my ever growing list of devices (60+ at this point) I find that having assigned IP addresses handed out by DHCP ensures there are no IP clashes even if the modem goes through it's occasional restart.

I've just upgraded from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 and I backed up the settings to be sure and then used the "attempt to preserve settings" which worked perfectly.

The biggest hurdle to a factory restart is having to manually reload all those mac addresses and IP address allocations again! It would be great if you could backup/restore just that table (bonus points if it's a standard csv or something so you can manually edit or create it offline.

Is this something anyone else would be interested in (or a feature I have somehow missed?)??

Hi i use winscp and copy /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts but it wood be good to have a plugin for it

Can you use the contents of /etc/ethers and /etc/host to populate another gargoyle instance (say moving from one to the other)?

Is it just a matter of copying over, or do you need to do something to make it stick (ie not be overwritten by something in non volatile ram?)

Yes just copy them over with winscp and you are good to go!
