Netgear FVS318v3 – Cable/DSL ProSafe VPN Firewall with 8-Port Switch Reference Manual

Maintenance

6-7

From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Settings 
Backup heading to bring up the menu shown below. 

You can use the Settings Backup menu to back up your configuration in a file, restore from that 
file, or erase the configuration settings.

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. 
You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as sanjose.cfg.

To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your PC or 
click the Browse button to browse to the file. When you have located it, click the Restore button 
to send the file to the firewall. The firewall will then reboot automatically.

It is sometimes desirable to restore the firewall to a known blank condition. To do this, see the 
Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the firewall's password will 
be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, and the firewall's DHCP client will be 
enabled.

To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.
