CAUTION:
When you restore the configuration of a device, you must provide the
correct configuration file. Make sure that any changes that you make on
the Promote Configuration pop-up window do not corrupt the configuration
file. If you provide a corrupted configuration file, the application pushes out
the corrupted configuration file when it executes the configuration restore
job and you can damage the device.

The Promote File pop-up window closes and the promoted configuration file is listed in
the Restore table.
Promote a configuration file for an FVS318G firewall
To use the configuration file of a single NETGEAR FVS318G firewall as a template to
configure a collection of NETGEAR FVS318G firewalls (see
Restore the configuration of
several identical devices on page 148), you must promote the configuration file but can
retain the existing configurations for the following features:
ISP login and type of ISP
W
AN Internet (IP) address and DNS servers
Dynamic DNS configuration
SNMP configuration
T
ime Zone
For each of these features, you can decide to either retain the existing configuration on the
firewalls or overwrite the configuration for the feature with the one from the promoted
configuration file.
The firewalls obtain all other features that are not stated in the previous list
from the promoted configuration file.
Note: You cannot promote a configuration file for the FVS318N,
FVS336Gv2, FVS336Gv2, or SRX5308 firewall.
CAUTION:
We recommend that only administrators with advanced network
knowledge and experience perform the following procedure.
