ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System, sometimes referred to as the “ras” file)
is the system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension.

38.8.1.1 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.
