C01. How can ZyWALL 1050 manage multiple configuration files?

From ZyWALL 1050 GUI menu File Manager > Configuration File, it allows admin to save
multiple configuration files. Besides, Admin could "manipulate" files, such as to upload,
delete, copy, rename, download the files, and apply a certain file to hot-switching the
configuration without hardware reboot.
C02. What are the configuration files like startup-config.conf,
system-default.conf and lastgood.conf?
1. startup-config.conf: The startup-config.conf is ZyWALL 1050 system configuration file.
When ZyWALL 1050 is booting, it will use this configuration file for ZyWALL 1050 as
system configuration.
2. system-default.conf: The system-default.conf is ZyWALL 1050 system default
configuration file. When you press the reset button, ZyWALL 1050 will copy
system-default.conf over startup-conf.conf.
3. lastgood.conf: The lastgood.conf is created after ZyWALL 1050 successfully applies
startup-config.conf. And ZyWALL 1050 will try to apply lastconfig.conf, if ZyWALL 1050
fail to apply startup-config.conf. You can check the GUI menu Maintenance > Log to check
the configuration applied status after booting.
