23-4 Maintenance
Click OK to see the screen as shown in Figure 23-6. Click OK again and then wait for the switch to restart. This
takes up to two minutes. This does not affect the switch’s configuration.
23.7 Command Line FTP
This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the switch using FTP commands.
First, understand the filename conventions.
23.7.1 Filename Conventions
The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings in the screens such as
password, switch setup, IP setup, etc. Once you have customized the switch's settings, they can be saved back to
your computer under a filename of your choosing.
A configuration file that you save from your switch to your computer does not include the
password, the error log or the trace log.
When you restore a backup configuration file from your computer to your switch, does not
change the password, the error log or the trace log.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the system firmware and has
a “bin” filename extension.

DESCRIPTION
Configuration File config This is the configuration filename on the switch. Uploading the
config file replaces the specified configuration file system,
including your switch configurations and system-related data.
Firmware ras *.bin This is the generic name for the ZyNOS firmware on the switch.
Example FTP Commands
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the switch .
ftp> get config config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config.cfg” on your computer.
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 switch only recognizes “config” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for
later use.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model firmware may
damage your device.
