Command Line Interface; Overview; The Configuration File; Accessing The Cli - ZyXEL Communications UAG Series Cli Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to access and use the CLI (Command Line Interface).

1.1 Overview

If you have problems with your UAG, customer support may request that you issue some of these
commands to assist them in troubleshooting.
Use of undocumented commands or misconfiguration can damage the
UAG and possibly render it unusable.

1.1.1 The Configuration File

When you configure the UAG using either the CLI (Command Line Interface) or the web
configurator, the settings are saved as a series of commands in a configuration file on the UAG. You
can store more than one configuration file on the UAG. However, only one configuration file is used
at a time.
You can perform the following with a configuration file:
• Back up UAG configuration once the UAG is set up to work in your network.
• Restore UAG configuration.
• Save and edit a configuration file and upload it to multiple UAGs (of the same model) in your
network to have the same settings.
Note: You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor.

1.2 Accessing the CLI

You can access the CLI using a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the console
port, from the web configurator or access the UAG using Telnet or SSH (Secure SHell).
Note: The UAG might force you to log out of your session if reauthentication time, lease
time, or idle timeout is reached. See
about these settings.
