ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the ZyWALL applies 
configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.

You have to run the example in 

 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.

In a configuration file or shell script, use “#” or “!” as the first character of a command line to 
have the ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL exit sub command mode.

"

“exit” or “!'” must follow sub commands if it is to make the ZyWALL exit sub 
command mode.

Line 3 in the following example exits sub command mode.

Lines 1 and 3 in the following example are comments and line 4 exits sub command mode.
