47.1 Overview

Configuration files define the ZyWALL’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the ZyWALL and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script without the ZyWALL restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the ZyWALL. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the ZyWALL. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.

47.1.2What you Need to Know

Configuration Files and Shell Scripts

When you apply a configuration file, the ZyWALL uses the factory default settings for any features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
