Will the upload wipe out everything from the ERP?
Copying config between different ER models is generally a bad idea because different models have different hardware specific config options:
- Different number of ethernet interfaces (ER-L vs ER-Pro)
- Switch interface might not be supported on new device (ER-poe vs ER-Pro)
- Different offload settings (ER-lite vs ER-X)
For you particular case I would suggest:
- Make sure you are merging configs from same firmware version;
- Make backup of /config/config.boot on ER-Pro;
- Manually merge your old ER-L config to new ER-Pro config and make sure you don't erase extra eth3-7 ethernet interfaces
- Upload new confg to /config/config.boot on ER-Pro and reboot
Uploading new config will not wipe any files.
If you can not access ER-pro after reboot then it means that your new config was somehow corrupted and now the only way to recover it is by doign a factory reset.
