Configuration — Mikrotik Export

# On Source Router
/export compact file=branch-template
| Practice | Reason |
|----------|--------|
| Never use show-sensitive in production logs | Exports PPP secrets, WiFi passwords, VPN keys |
| Remove exported .rsc files from router after transfer | Files remain in RAM/storage and could be retrieved |
| Encrypt exported files externally | Use zip -e or GPG before storing or emailing |
| Redact default credentials (admin/"") before sharing | Attackers could use known defaults |
To save the export directly to the router's internal storage:
/export file=my-config

This creates /my-config.rsc on the router. You can download it via Files in WinBox or using SCP/FTP.
Winbox is a popular graphical user interface (GUI) tool for managing Mikrotik devices. To export the configuration using Winbox:
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] ssid="MySecureWiFi" band=2ghz-b/g/n channel-width=20/40mhz-Ce mikrotik export configuration
/interface list
add comment=defconf name=WAN
add comment=defconf name=LAN
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] authentication-types=wpa2-psk mode=dynamic-keys 

supplicant-identity=MikroTik wpa2-pre-shared-key="YourWiFiPasswordHere"
/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool0 ranges=192.168.88.10-192.168.88.254
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool0 disabled=no interface=bridge-local name=defconf # On Source Router /export compact file=branch-template |
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge-local interface=ether2-LAN
add bridge=bridge-local interface=ether3-LAN
add bridge=bridge-local interface=ether4-LAN
add bridge=bridge-local interface=ether5-LAN
/ip neighbor discovery-settings
discover-interface-list=LAN
/interface list member
add comment=defconf interface=bridge-local list=LAN
add comment=defconf interface=ether1-WAN list=WAN
/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment=defconf interface=bridge-local network=192.168.88.0 This creates  /my-config
