22.8.1 Filename Conventions
The configuration file contains the settings in the screens such as password, switch setup, IP
Setup, etc. Once you have customized the switch's settings, they can be saved (as a plain text
file) back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the
system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension.
22.8.1.1 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.
Note: Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model
firmware may damage your device.
22.8.2 FTP Command Line Procedure
1 Launch the FTP client on your computer.
2 Enter open , followed by a space and the IP address of your switch.
3 Enter the username when prompted (for example “admin”).
4 Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).
5 Enter bin to set transfer mode to binary.
