26.8.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file contains the Switch's settings. Once you have customized the Switch's
settings, they can be saved (as a plain text file) back to your computer under a filename of your
choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) is the
system firmware and has a "bin" filename extension.

26.8.1.1 Example FTP Commands
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the
Switch.
ftp> get config config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called "config.cfg" on
your computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the
source, you will need to rename them as the Switch only recognizes "config" and "ras". Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model
firmware may damage your device.
