Saving your existing Configuration
Saving the existing configuration will allow the configuration information in the unit to
be restored at a later date.

information which will be preserved during the upgrade.
The procedure requires the presence of a write enabled empty file on a suitable network
fileserver. The fileserver must have the TFTP (Trivial File Transport Protocol) service
enabled and running.
