Hi,

 

I am new user of this switch.

 

After I went through this: Unable to import or export DHCP client address list - Business Community

 

I still need to point out:

 - "export"  is strongly misleading ---> big frustration    it really shall be called something like "template"

it costs new people lots of time to figure out

 

 - there is no EXPORT possibility which is sad, only way I can think of, you can COPY+Paste but how complicated would be to really create Export button ?

 

 - when you Backup settings of the switch you end up in .bin   which cannot be used later e.g. in another switch

 

Can you please consider fixing this contraintuitive thing

 

Thank you

 

Best Regards,

 

Filip

Hi @Filip009 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

We have received such feedback several times. Based on a reply from the dev team, we will optimize the title for this feature. "Export" is a very misleading term in this situation but explained in the note which says it is exporting the template.

The team will optimize this button and explain it clearly that is exporting the template before you hit the button.

 

About exporting the existing MAC address entries, this is not considered. I will ask this with the team and see their opinion.

Hi all, 

Add to my last reply, that based on an email conversation with the PM, he/she can confirm it is a good idea to optimize the export function. Now, it cannot export the existing DHCP reservation table but will add it to the request pool, and is pending for further evaluation.

 

Yet, this does not guarantee it will pass the evaluation. As a short disclaimer, I am not able to guarantee you this feature available for sure.

Hi @Filip009

Exporting MAC address will be added to a beta that is estimated in March. Are you interested in this? If yes, please let me know, and will inform the team to prepare the beta and let you download it in late March.

The official fix will be ETA in V5.15.
