Configuration File Flow at Restart

•If there is not a startup-config.confwhen you restart the ZyWALL (whether through a management interface or by physically turning the power off and back on), the ZyWALL uses the system-default.confconfiguration file with the ZyWALL’s default settings.

•If there is a startup-config.conf, the ZyWALL checks it for errors and applies it. If there are no errors, the ZyWALL uses it and copies it to the lastgood.conf configuration file as a back up file. If there is an error, the ZyWALL generates a log and copies the startup-config.confconfiguration file to the startup-config-bad.confconfiguration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf configuration file. If there isn’t a lastgood.conf configuration file or it also has an error, the ZyWALL applies the system-default.confconfiguration file.

•You can change the way the startup-config.conffile is applied. Include the setenv-startupstop-on-error off command. The ZyWALL ignores any errors in the startup-config.conffile and applies all of the valid commands. The ZyWALL still generates a log for any errors.
