execute restore config myfile.bak

<xxx_str> indicates an ASCII string that does not contain new-lines or carriage returns.

<xxx_integer> indicates an integer string that is a decimal (base 10) number. <xxx_octet> indicates a hexadecimal string that uses the digits 0-9 and letters A-F.

<xxx_ipv4> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 address. <xxx_v4mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 netmask.

<xxx_ipv4mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv4 address followed by a dotted decimal IPv4 netmask.

<xxx_ipv6> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 address. <xxx_v6mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 netmask.

<xxx_ipv6mask> indicates a dotted decimal IPv6 address followed by a dotted decimal IPv6 netmask.

•Vertical bar and curly brackets {} to separate alternative, mutually exclusive required keywords.

For example:

set opmode {nat transparent}

You can enter set opmode nat or set opmode transparent.
