Hi, I'm helping to move the configuration from some routers to the same 4300 series router. They are being replaced due to the clock signaling issue. I watched the video posted in this thread: /isr4300-clock-signal-field-notice-64253-migration-assistance
and though it was helpful it left me with a couple questions. First of all I'm not replacing anything inside the router like his full length post above. The routers are the same we just need to move the configurations over. In the video he shows that he copies the routers image to usb, then he copies the configuration to usb. He then restores the router image and the config from the usb. My question is why is it necessary to move the image over to the new router? Wouldn't they be the same ios same versions since they are basically identical? I'm not against doing it, just trying to understand the purpose behind it.
Also I wanted to ask another question, when we originally tried doing this we ran out of time, we were trying to drop the config in section by section from a txt file, as we did this the router had some commands it didnt want to take, they all began with "crypto" are these going to not carry over if copied and moved over via usb? Or do these commands need something else before they can be accepted by the router?
