      Hi all,
      is there any way to export the DHCP client list in a format that can be imported from another machine? I'm going to prepare a very similar machine to the running one for experimental purposes and the only part of the setup that remains the same is the DHCP client list (very long). So far the only idea I had is to do a backup of the running machine, do a backup of the new machine and copy and paste the dhcp section into the latter backup to restore then the configuration. I'm guessing if there is a smarter way to achieve it.

        Do you mean DHCP static mappings? If so, then you can go to Diag > Backup/Restore and back up just the DHCP config, then restore just that section to the new box.

        Copy/paste between config backups would also do the job.
