    Hi,

    You can use an scf backup and load it via the cli.

    save /sys config file my-scf no-passphrase

    Look for it in /var/local/scf

    Loading it back after the modifiations:

    load sys config from-terminal merge verify
or
load /sys config merge file <filename> verify 
if it runs without errors
load sys config from-terminal merge
or
load /sys config merge file <filename> 
save sys config

Hi,

 

With an SCF backup you get a txt file. Modify the entries you need and remove the rest.

With the verify command you make sure that you are not messing up.

 

Cheers,
