39.1 Overview
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.
39.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 39.2 on page 501 ) 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 Section 39.3 on page 505 ) to check your current
firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.
• Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 39.4 on page 507 ) to store, name, download, upload
and run shell script files.
39.1.2 What you Need to Know
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
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.
