Here are the steps to take backup and restore the config on VG 248.

1. From the Command Line Interface (CLI), issue the *ftp* command to

connect to the VG248.

2. Hit *Enter* in username field.

3. If the Telnet password is configured, enter it in the password

field for FTP, otherwise leave it blank.

4. Issue the *dir* commnad to view the files.

5. Issue the *get *command and the respective file name (for example,

issue *get user.cfg*) to copy the file for user.cfg.

6. When the transfer completes, this file is copied to the PC.

The files are stored in recent folders under Documents and

Settings in windows. *Note:* Also, there is a user.cfg.xml file

that you can backup for port config.

Thanks,

Please go to start > Run. type in cmd, and then follow the steps as suggested from the previous post.

You need to FTP into the device inorder to collect the configuration information. A "?" will give you the list of options on what you want ot "get" from the VG248.

When I telnet into the VG248 it comes up with a menu not CLI. The menu has Config, Display, Diagnostics

Is there a special way to get to the CLI?
