option to wipe/reset startup-cfg disk.
Would like to have a GUI option to easily wipe/reset startup-cfg disk after a node is instantiated.
Reason for this: License file is stored in the startup-cfg zip. The licenses need to be refreshed periodically. We either need to delete and re-create the node, or manually do the following:
- Stop the node
- SSH to the GNS3 server
- find the node folder
- delete config.img and config.zip
- Start the node (config.img and config.zip is created again from the template startup-cfg zip)
Would like to have this simplified by a right click on the node and execute "wipe/reset startup-cfg". Also would be useful to have a global option to do execute this action for all nodes in the topology / currently selected.
That is a good suggestion. Perhaps it can be implemented together with https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/2868.
In the meantime try the following: Copy the startup-cfg to a client computer, in the GNS3 GUI stop the node, select it and then use right-click / "Import config" to import the startup-cfg as the new configuration disk.
