How do I use the web interface to backup/restore a configuration on the GS724Tv6?
Hi all,
Before suggesting that I go to Maintenance/Upload, I must point out that my Maintenance tab only has the following sub-menus: Reset, Export, Update, File Management and Troubleshooting.
Export has two flavors: TFTP File Export and HTTP File Export.
And while the 79 line exported text file seems plausibly to be a configuration file, there is no "Import" (that I can find) to complement Export.
Update and File Management seem to be only related to firmware.
I am at the latest firmware (7.0.0.12).
I don't run Windows, so I can't use the Netgear windows tool for configuration backup and restore.
Thank you,
Len

Haven't had the opportunity operating any GS724T recently, neither the well documented v4 nor the new v6.
I would expect the functionalities for both the Download as well as the Upload functionalities should be similar to....
- TFTP File Download
- HTTP File Download
- TFTP File Upload
- HTTP File Upload
... what is documented in the https://www.netgear.com/support/product/gs724tv4/ Software Administration Manual - with none available yet for the v6.
Can't follow you idea what Windows Application you are referring, to my knowledge there isn't one at all.
Please try to stick with the correct section for posting - this isn't a fully Managed Switch class model, much more a Plus and Smart Switch to discuss Smart Switches (T) and Plus Switches (E), including Local and Remote Management.
I'll challenge a moderator to relocate your posts accordingly.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The software I was referring to was the Window-only "Smart Control Center" https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/SmartControlCenter_03Nov10.pdf
I run Linux. Not Windows. So, I want to backup and restore my config through the device web gui.
Sorry about posting in the wrong place. Tell me what to do about it, and I will do it.
Thank you.
SCC is a relict of the past, some 20 or more 25 years old, combining magiclly some legacy L2 protcols triggering eg. TFTP at some point - features which are disbled by default since several years on all Netger switches. Obsolete digging for a dead horse.
As I said before, I have no access to any GS724T, including the current GS724Tv6. I'm neither Netgear here, but operating bigger nuber of NTGR Smart Managed switches, like GSnnnT and XSnnnT models, and -all- have HTTP and TFTP based up- and download options as described in the GS716Tv3, GS724v4, and GS748Tv5 Software Administration Manual, Chapter 8, Maintenance. I have no reason to believe these controls and functions should no longer be available, neither on the effective devce, nor on the online help - but as said before in a different thread, I can't find the current GS724Tv6 Software Administration Manual, neither.
