ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

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.

• Use  the  Configuration File screen (see 

) to store and 

name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the 

ZyWALL to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to 

the ZyWALL.

• Use  the  Firmware Package screen (see 

) to check 

your current firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.

• Use  the  Shell Script screen (see 

) to store, name, 

download, upload and run shell script files. 

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.
