Nortel Business Secure Router 252 Configuration — Advanced
Chapter 15
Firmware and configuration file maintenance
This chapter tells you how to backup and restore your configuration file, as well
as upload new firmware and configuration files.
Filename conventions
The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory
default settings in the menus such as password, DHCP Setup and TCP/IP Setup. It
comes with a rom filename extension. Once you have customized the Business
Secure Router settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename
of your choosing.
The system firmware (sometimes referred to as the ras file) has a bin filename
extension. With many FTP and TFTP clients, the filenames are similar to those
seen next.
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file
firmware.bin to the Business Secure Router.
ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file
config.cfg.
Note:
Only use firmware for your Business Secure Router specific
model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your Business Secure Router.
