32.3 The Firmware Package Screen
Click Maintenance > File Manager > Firmware Package to open the Firmware Package
screen. Use the Firmware Package screen to check your current firmware version and upload
firmware to the USG. You can upload firmware to be the Running firmware or Standby firmware.
Note: The Web Configurator is the recommended method for uploading firmware. You
only need to use the command line interface if you need to recover the firmware.
See the CLI Reference Guide for how to determine if you need to recover the
firmware and how to recover it.
Find the firmware package at www.zyxel.com in a file that (usually) uses the system model name
with a .bin extension, for example, “zywall.bin”.
The firmware update can take up to five minutes. Do not turn off or reset
the USG while the firmware update is in progress!
File Name This column displays the label that identifies a configuration file.
You cannot delete the following configuration files or change their file names.
The system-default.conf file contains the USG’s default settings. Select this file and click
Apply to reset all of the USG settings to the factory defaults. This configuration file is
included when you upload a firmware package.
The startup-config.conf file is the configuration file that the USG is currently using. If
you make and save changes during your management session, the changes are applied to
this configuration file. The USG applies configuration changes made in the Web
Configurator to the configuration file when you click Apply or OK. It applies configuration
changes made via commands when you use the write command.
The lastgood.conf is the most recently used (valid) configuration file that was saved
when the device last restarted. If you upload and apply a configuration file with an error,
you can apply lastgood.conf to return to a valid configuration.
