Errors in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts

When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the ZyWALL processes the file line-by-line. The ZyWALL checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it continues with the next line. If the ZyWALL finds an error, it stops applying the configuration file or shell script and generates a log.

You can change the way a configuration file or shell script is applied. Include setenv stop-on- error off in the configuration file or shell script. The ZyWALL ignores any errors in the configuration file or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The ZyWALL still generates a log for any errors.

39.2 The Configuration File Screen

Click Maintenance > File Manager > Configuration File to open the Configuration File screen. Use the Configuration File screen to store, run, and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the ZyWALL to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the ZyWALL.

Once your ZyWALL is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making further configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
