39.2Configuration Files and Shell Scripts Overview

You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the ZyWALL.

When you apply a configuration file, the ZyWALL uses the factory default settings for any features that the configuration file does not include. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the ZyWALL and run when you need them. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.

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.
