27.7.6 Configuration Backup Using GUI-based TFTP Clients
The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.
Refer to Section 27.3 on page 332 to read about configurations that disallow TFTP and FTP
over WAN.
27.8 Using FTP or TFTP to 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 device
since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after
the file transfer is complete.
Note: WARNING!
Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE YOUR device. When the Restore Configuration process is complete,
the device will automatically restart.
