ProSafe 802.11g Wireless VPN Firewall FVG318 Reference Manual
Maintenance 7-5
v1.0, September 2007
3. Highlight the file and click Upload.
In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the firewall after upgrading.
Backing Up and Restoring Settings
The configuration settings of the VPN firewall are stored within the firewall in a configuration file.
This file can be saved (backed up) to a users PC, retrieved (restored) from the users PC, or
cleared to factory default settings.
You can use the Backup/Restore Settings section of the Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade
screen shown in Figure 7-3 to back up your configuration in a file, restore from that file, or revert
to the factory default configuration settings.
To backup and restore your configuration:
1. Click Backup. Your browser will extract the configuration file from the firewall and prompt
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.
2. Click Browse to locate your backup file. When you have located it, click Restore 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 erase the
configuration and revert to the factory default settings, click default. After reverting to the factory
default setting, the firewall password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1,
and the firewall DHCP client will be enabled.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the reset button on the rear panel of the firewall. See “Restoring the Default
Configuration and Password” on page 9-6.
Note: When uploading software to the VPN firewall, it is important not to interrupt
the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page.
If the browser is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is
complete, your firewall will automatically restart. The upgrade process will
typically take about 1 minute.
