What does the /export command create regarding the router configuration?

The /export command is used in MikroTik's RouterOS to generate a text representation of the entire router configuration. This output includes all settings and configurations that are currently applied, which allows for easy backup, review, or migration to another device.

When you execute the /export command, it provides a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of the router, rather than just a portion of it. This includes configurations for interfaces, DHCP settings, firewall rules, NAT rules, routing settings, and more. As a result, the command truly exports the full configuration of the router, contrary to the assertion that it only exports part of it.

Understanding the functionality of the /export command is essential as it plays a critical role in configuration management and disaster recovery for network devices.
