45.1.2Errors in Configuration Files or Shell ScriptsWhen 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.
45.1.3 ZyWALL Configuration File DetailsYou can store multiple configuration files on the ZyWALL. You can also have the ZyWALL use a different configuration file without the ZyWALL restarting.
•When you first receive the ZyWALL, it uses the system-default.confconfiguration file of default settings.
•When you change the configuration, the ZyWALL creates a startup-config.conffile of the current configuration.
•The ZyWALL checks the startup-config.conffile for errors when it restarts. If there is an error in the startup-config.conffile, the ZyWALL copies the startup-config.confconfiguration file to the startup-config-bad.confconfiguration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf configuration file.
•When the ZyWALL reboots, if the startup-config.conffile passes the error check, the ZyWALL keeps a copy of the startup-config.conffile as the lastgood.conf configuration file for you as a back up file. If you upload and apply a configuration file with an error, you can apply lastgood.conf to return to a valid configuration.
45.1.4Configuration File Flow at RestartIf 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. 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.
