Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3 Configuration File Management The configuration settings of the FVS318v3 VPN Firewall are stored within the firewall in a configuration file. This file can be saved (backed up) to a user's PC, retrieved (restored) from the user's PC, or cleared to factory default settings. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Settings Backup heading to bring up the menu shown below. Figure 7-6: Settings Backup menu You can use the Settings Backup menu to back up your configuration in a file, restore from that file, or erase the configuration settings. Backing Up the Configuration To save your settings, select the Backup tab. Click the Backup button. Your browser will extract the configuration file from the firewall and prompts you for a location on your PC to store the file.
