Backup Configuration Using TFTP
The ZyXEL Device 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.
Use telnet from your computer to connect to the ZyXEL Device and log in. Because
1
TFTP does not have any security checks, the ZyXEL Device records the IP address
of the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.
Enter command "sys stdio 0" to disable the management idle timeout, so the
2
TFTP transfer will not be interrupted. Enter command "sys stdio 5" to restore
the five-minute management idle timeout (default) when the file transfer is
complete.
Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the ZyXEL Device. Set
3
the transfer mode to binary before starting data transfer.
Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the ZyXEL
4
Device and the computer. The file name for the configuration file is "rom-0" (rom-
zero, not capital o).
