25.8 Using FTP or TFTP to Restore Configuration

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this
function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration;
please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.

FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your device
since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after
the file transfer is complete.
