Chapter 29 Configuration

196

This chapter shows you how to back up, restore or reset the configuration on the VSG. 

The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password, 
DHCP Setup, TCP/IP Setup, etc. Once you have customized the settings of the VSG, they can 
be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.

There is not a specific file extension or filename conventions that you need to follow. 
Therefore, you can specify any name or file extension the configuration files. It is 
recommended that you to use the “.rom” file extension for the configuration file for 
management purposes.

You can use the Configuration screen in the web configurator to back up and restore 
configuration or reset the device to the factory defaults. 

You can back up and restore the configuration file either through the web configurator or using 
an external TFTP server. 

Note: Do NOT interrupt the file transfer process as this may permanently damage 

your device.

Backup is highly recommended once your VSG is functioning properly.
