Ubiquiti EdgeRouter / EdgeMax Example config.boot Files
This repo contains a collection of example config.boot files which you can use as a starting point for configuring your UBNT EdgeRouter for IPv4 and IPv6 on a number of networks, including:
- Google Fiber
- Comcast Xfinity
- Charter Spectrum
Usage
Copy the raw contents of the appropriate config.boot file into your local clipboard.
Then create a blank config.boot file in /home/ubnt with:
$ sudo vi /home/ubnt/config.boot
Once inside the vi editor, turn off the auto-indenting feature before you paste by typing
:set noai
and pressing ENTER. If you’re not familiar with vi, make sure you type the : whenever they’re shown in this guide.
Now enter “insert” mode by pressing lowercase i (you don’t need ENTER after the i command).
Paste the copied raw config.boot file from your local system’s clipboard using your terminal client’s
Paste menu item or keyboard shortcut (usually CTRL-V on PC, Command-V on Mac, etc.). Now write and quit
the file by typing:
:wq
and then ENTER.
Now you’re ready to copy your new config.boot file over the EdgeRouter’s default config.boot file with:
$ sudo cp /home/ubnt/config.boot /config/config.boot
You can apply the new config.boot file by rebooting the router with the reboot command, or with:
$ configure
# load
# commit
# save
# exit
IPv6 Considerations
If you edit the IPv6 settings in your config.boot and want to apply them immediately, do:
$ release dhcpv6-pd interface eth0
$ delete dhcpv6-pd duid
$ renew dhcpv6-pd interface eth0
Change eth0 as needed to match your configuration's WAN interface.
