ZyWALL (ZLD) CLI Reference Guide
316
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 Table 28 on page 316 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. (See Section 1.5 on page 17 for more information about CLI modes.)
37.2.1 Comments in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
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.
