When 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. 

You 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.conf configuration file of default 

settings. 

• When you change the configuration, the ZyWALL creates a startup-config.conf file of the 

current configuration.

• The ZyWALL checks the startup-config.conf file for errors when it restarts. If there is an error 

in the startup-config.conf file, the ZyWALL copies the startup-config.conf configuration file 
to the startup-config-bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf 
configuration file.
