The root level command /import [file_name] restores the exported information from the specified
file. This is used to restore configuration or part of it after a /system reset event or anything that
causes configuration data loss.
Note that it is impossible to import the whole router configuration using this feature. It can only be
used to import a part of configuration (for example, firewall rules) in order to spare you some
typing.

To load the saved export file use the following command:
[admin@MikroTik] > import address.rsc
Opening script file address.rsc
