Hello,
We are deploying over 20 RV180W Routers for a client and need to find a faster way to configure them for shipping.
We have created a base image (all settings that will be shared between the 20 locations), we need an easy and quick way to make IP changes for the 3 VLANs and Local Security Groups for the IPSEC VPN.
I tried to edit the CFG file by hand, but the checksum fails when it is loaded into the RV180W.
How can I accomplish this? Can I manually create the checksum?
Can I remove the checksum?
Thank you for your help,
Daren

Hi Daren, in the past, I've opened the config file in a word doc then deleted the checksum.

Tom,
Thank you for the reply.
I tried to edit the CFG in Notepad++, and removing it did not work....
Here is what I tried:
Non-Modified Sysconfig Section:
systemConfig = {}
systemConfig[1] = {}
systemConfig[1]["checksum"]="728609edd5e332ede28b4bcf31dfc3fb"
systemConfig[1]["configMinorVer"] = "0"
systemConfig[1]["configMajorVer"] = "26"
systemConfig[1]["_ROWID_"] = "1"
Attempt 1 (Failure):
systemConfig = {}
systemConfig[1] = {}
systemConfig[1]["checksum"]=""
systemConfig[1]["configMinorVer"] = "0"
systemConfig[1]["configMajorVer"] = "26"
systemConfig[1]["_ROWID_"] = "1"
Attempt 2 (Failure):
systemConfig = {}
systemConfig[1] = {}
systemConfig[1]["configMinorVer"] = "0"
systemConfig[1]["configMajorVer"] = "26"
systemConfig[1]["_ROWID_"] = "1"
What is the process you use to remove the checksum?
Do I need to modify the variables or anything special in this case?
I appreciate your help, manually configuring each device will take quite a while... the RV180W forces you to reboot if you modify any of the VLAN Subnets (which is a problem in itself, I should be able to just save the changes and apply them at a reboot).

I think I may have figured this one out... thank to Tom's help.
I removed the checksum value, but the validation process seems to need something there...
So first I set it to:
systemConfig[1]["checksum"]="1"
I was hoping that this would equate to "True" when evaluated... however that did not work.
So I figured, why not try:
systemConfig[1]["checksum"]="0"
Just to see what happens... and it worked!
