10.1.1 Firmware Development
It is important to upgrade your firmware regularly, especially if there are problems. If you discover an
unexpected behavior, or bug, see if your problem is mentioned in the release notes. Load it according to
instructions (e.g., see if the default configuration file is needed also). If the problem still exists, e-mail or
call technical support.
10.2 Backup Configuration
Option 5 from Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current ZyWALL configuration
to your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your ZyWALL is functioning properly. FTP and
TFTP are the preferred methods for backing up your current workstation configuration to your computer
since FTP and TFTP are faster. You can also perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the
console port. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM
protocol to perform the download/upload and you don't have to rename the files (see section 10.1).
Please note that terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the workstation. Download means to
transfer from the ZyWALL to the workstation, while upload means from your workstation to the ZyWALL.
