The Export File to USB page displays.
The default and only possible selection from the File Type menu is Text Configuration.
A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured text file
(startup-config) offline as needed. The most common usage of text-based
configuration is to upload a working configuration from a device, edit it offline to
personalize it for another similar device (for example, change the device name or IP
address), and download it to that device.

You can enter up to 32 characters.
8. Click the Apply button.

The page displays information about the file transfer progress. The page refreshes
automatically when the file transfer completes (or if it fails).

Note: You can manually check for the latest software (firmware) version by
visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com, download the software to a
TFTP server, computer, or USB storage device, and then download
the software to the switch. If release notes are available with the new
software, read the release notes to find out if you must reconfigure the
switch after upgrading the software.
