USG FLEX 50W Configuration Files Cleanup

DeanH

Hello Forum,

After upgrading firmware and making the necessary changes to the USG FLEX 50W unit, is there a reason to keep the following files:

ezmode-config.conf
autobackup-0.00.conf
startup-config-bad.conf

I wanted to make sure these are not needed for something in the future, or if they can be recreated as needed. Just trying to keep our units neat and tidy. I don't like junk files sitting around forever taking up space unnecessarily.

I do not use easy mode, so that one makes no sense to keep. Just didn't want to wipe it out only to find out later it is needed for some kind of recovery step. Similarly, with the other two, just want to be sure they are not absolutley needed.

The Zyxel device automatically creates .conf files beginning with ez_ for settings used in Easy Mode, this file creation takes place in Expert Mode. You should not or can not delete those files.
User Guide chapter 4.1.1 Objects and Rules — page 89.

Regarding startup-config-bad.conf, see page 827, chapter 33.2 The Configuration Screen :

if there is a file named startup-config.conf and an error happens during boot, your Zyxel device creates a log and copies startup-config.conf to startup-config-bad.conf . See your User Guide for the remaining description.
