I'm going to make a semi-educated guess that this is on an R7000; please refer to the forum rules and guidelines (all of them, new and old) about giving all applicable information. Now, to answer your question: If you upgrade to 46885, you should be able to do everything in the webUI. Or you can choose to stay at 46446 until you're comfortable after reading up on swconfig and watching the forum. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Yes it is a R7000. Sorry for missing the hardware info - I don't start a new thread often.
After I do this in the WebUI, can I translate the config to some corresponding sets of NVRAM variables before? I have a script to set all my config NVRAM variables. This helps me reset everything with ease without go through the WebUI at all (i.e. think maintaining a remote router in my aging parents' home).
Does setting the right NVRAM variables automatically trigger the correct swconfig operations (i.e. I don't need to write a separate script)?

If you're going to stick with scripts, you need to learn swconfig command line. I guess the intent of functionality across the board and ease-of-use is moot. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I figure that'd be the case. I'll go read up about swconfig and migrate.
Does newer builds still need these NVRAM variables then? Do I understand correctly that, once I migrate to swconfig, I don't need to set these vlan NVRAM variables any more?
