ZyWALL 2 User’s Guide

33.4 Restore Configuration

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.

FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your ZyWALL since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after the file transfer is complete.

WARNING!Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may PERMANENTLY DAMAGEYOUR ZyWALL. When the Restore Configuration process is complete, theZyWALL will automatically restart.
