Chapter 52 File Manager

ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

 These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI 
commands manually. An example is shown below.    

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.
