While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the Zyxel Device applies configuration
files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
You have to run the aforementioned example as a shell script because the first command is run in
Privilege
mode. If you remove the first command, you have to run the example as a configuration file
because the rest of the commands are executed in
Configuration
mode.
Comments in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
In a configuration file or shell script, use “#” or “!” as the first character of a command line to have the
Zyxel Device treat the line as a comment.
Your configuration files or shell scripts can use “exit” or a command line consisting of a single “!” to have
the Zyxel Device exit sub command mode.
Note: “exit” or “!'” must follow sub commands if it is to make the Zyxel Device exit sub
command mode.
In the following example lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 7 exits sub command mode.
Errors in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the Zyxel Device processes the file line-by-line.
The Zyxel Device checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it continues with
the next line. If the Zyxel Device 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 Zyxel Device ignores any errors in the configuration file or
shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The Zyxel Device still generates a log for any errors.
