If the device has a default or existing configuration that requires replacement, it is necessary to initiate a configuration reset.

This involves applying a clean, empty configuration using the command /system/reset-configuration no-defaults=yes, followed by a device reboot. //

For example, load saved configuration file

[admin@MikroTik] > import address.rsc
Opening script file address.rsc

Script file loaded and executed successfully
[admin@MikroTik] >

• verbose Reads each line from the file and executes individually, allowing to debug syntax or other errors more easily.
• dry-run Simulates the import without making any configuration changes. This helps in catching syntax errors. This option is only available in verbose mode.
