Zyxel VMG Series [Routers] - How to upload / backup / save a customized configuration in VMG Series Device

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to save a user configuration as the system default configuration, which allows you to create a predefined configuration, and when you reset the device to factory defaults, your pre-saved configuration will be loaded. This configuration file is also known as a ROM-D file. In addition, using the VMG1312-B10A as an example, we will show you how to use TFTP to download or back up a configuration file on VMG series devices.

Save custom configuration as the system default configuration

Connect via SSH to the VMG:

Please use the following command:

zycli save_default save

Now your configuration is saved as the system's default configuration. This means if you reset the VMG, your customized configuration will be used.

To get everything back, please follow the steps below to "rom-d" to default settings use

zycli save_default clean 

clean the "rom-d" and reboot with sys atcr reboot

sys atcr reboot

How to use TFTP to upload or backup the config file on VMG

  • Log in to the CPE with the root account.
  • Enter the following command to back up the configuration:
> tftp -p -t f -f mdm.config 192.168.1.33
  • Enter the following command to upload the configuration:
> tftp -p -t c -f mdm.config 192.168.1.33
  • Verification
    After uploading the config file, the CPE will reboot.
    We can back up the config file to check if the file was uploaded successfully or not.
