Chapter 43 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance

4Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the ZyWALL. Set the transfer mode to binary before starting data transfer.

5Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the ZyWALL and the computer. The file name for the configuration file is “rom-0” (rom-zero, not capital o).

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the ZyWALL to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

43.3.7 TFTP Command Example

The following is an example TFTP command:

tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom

Where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the ZyWALL IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the ZyWALL (rom-0, name of the configuration file on the ZyWALL) to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.

43.3.8 GUI-based TFTP Clients

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.
