43.3.5 File Maintenance Over WAN

TFTP, FTP and Telnet over the WAN will not work when:
1 The firewall is active (turn the firewall off in menu 21.2 or create a firewall rule to allow
access from the WAN).
2 You have disabled Telnet service in menu 24.11.
3 You have applied a filter in menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Telnet
service.
4 The IP you entered in the Secure Client IP field in menu 24.11 does not match the client
IP. If it does not match, the ZyWALL will disconnect the Telnet session immediately.
5 You have an SMT console session running.

43.3.6 Backup Configuration Using TFTP

The ZyWALL supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file using
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as
well, it is not recommended.
To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To backup the
configuration file, follow the procedure shown next.
1 Use telnet from your computer to connect to the ZyWALL and log in. Because TFTP
does not have any security checks, the ZyWALL records the IP address of the telnet
client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.
2 Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System
Maintenance.
3 Enter command "sys stdio 0" to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not
be interrupted. Enter command "sys stdio 5" to restore the five-minute SMT timeout
(default) when the file transfer is complete.
