Chapter 26 Maintenance 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. Table 74 Filename Conventions FILE TYPE INTERNAL EXTERNA NAME L NAME DESCRIPTION Configuration File config This is the configuration filename on the Switch. Uploading the config file replaces the specified configuration file system, including your Switch configurations, system-related data (including the default password), the error log and the trace log. Firmware ras *.bin This is the generic name for the ZyNOS firmware on the Switch. 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.
