Answer 1

You are very vague.
- Is your boss just going to test your knowledge or does he have a prticular setup in mind for which you would have to change the current configuration?

- What kind of "new" script are you talking about?

I recommend the manual. Especially for the 870 series, there is a good set of FAQ and instructions available. Take your time to read through and experiment a bit with the equipment (do NOT go live, if you are not sure what you are doing!). After one day, you should be able to have a good grip on it, which is probably faster than anything coming through this here.
Should you not be capable of achieving that, the particular task is simply not meant for you (you said you were experienced which has me assume that you have some network knowledge beyond connecting two pcs with each other).
I know exactly what position you are in at the moment and I cross the fingers for your jump in ice cold water! Good luck

Answer 2

Maybe you best post the current config and ask specific questions about what you are proposing.

Given your atrocious English, my bet is you'd trash a router in a New York minute...
