ZyWALL 2 User’s Guide

ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg

This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file “config.cfg”.

If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to rename them as the ZyWALL only recognizes “rom-0” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the ZyWALL and the external filename refers to the filename not on the ZyWALL, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, see the RAS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 - System Maintenance - Information to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version. The AT command is the command you enter after you press “y” when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode.

Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current ZyWALL configuration to your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your ZyWALL is functioning properly. FTP is the
