Netgear FSM Switches

You can obtain a copy of your configuration from Netgear FSM devices by using SSH, Telnet or the Console.

For this procedure you will be using the Command Line Interface (CLI) of your Netgear FSM device using an SSH client (such as OpenSSH or Putty), Telnet or through the console port. We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. Telnet provides no encryption of the communications and therefore your authentication credentials and configuration would be vulnerable if a malicious user were to monitor your connection.

1. Connect to the Netgear FSM using your favorite SSH client, Telnet or a direct console connection.

2. Logon using your administration authentication credentials.

3. Execute the following CLI command and capture the output (possibly using the cut and paste facility):

   Copy

   show run

4. Save the captured output to a file and remove any visible page lines (i.e. --More--).
