## Symptoms

- * When running a saved configuration file, configuration does not complete as expected (or completes with errors).
* `add snmp interface eth2` command produces "Interface eth2 does not exist" error.
* Gaia configuration commands are not saved sorted in a way that guarantees continuation when loading them from the file.

  *Example from "/config/db/initial" file* - user "*myuser* " is added to group "*mygroup* " before it is created with "*add user*":

  ```
  
  ... ... ...
  add group mygroup gid 3561
  add group mygroup member myuser
  add user myuser uid 1002 homedir /home/myuser
  set user myuser gid 100 shell /bin/bash
  set user myuser password-hash XXX/
  set user monitor shell /etc/cli.sh
  set user monitor password-hash *
  ... ... ...
  ```
