1.2 How to customize your default configuration
This example shows administrators how to define your own configuration
as the default configuration. Sometimes, when users configure settings
on the switch, they might accidentally change settings that could
cause service downtime. However, it might be difficult to recover it in a
short time because too many changes have been made. To create a
better user experience, ZYXEL provides a new solution which allows users
to define their own default configuration. This is called Custom Default.
By using either the hardware restore button or Web GUI, users can
recover configurations back to their own custom default settings.
The following is an application:
One of ZYXEL’s customers, who is an Internet Service Provider, benefits a
lot from it. Before they provide services for their customers, they will
configure a last known good configuration that best matches the
customer’s environment, such as management IP interface and VLAN
database, to the switch’s Custom Default setting. Every time their
customers misconfigure the switch and unexpectedly causing service
loss, they will first ask the customers to return the switch back to custom
default settings. Compared to returning to factory default settings, the
customers do not suffer from long service down times, while the ISP
spends less time and resources debugging for their customers.
Figure 1 illustrates conditions set by ISP, which works fine. VLAN 100 is
VLAN for management and VLAN 200 is VLAN for normal traffic. When
service works fine, PC-B can successfully ping the interface of VLAN 200.
ISP can save this configuration as Custom Default.
