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 Zyxel Device applies configuration
files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
Table 398 Configuration Files and Shell Scripts in the Zyxel Device
Configuration Files (.conf)
• Resets to default configuration.
• Goes into CLI Configuration mode.
• Runs the commands in the configuration file.
You have to run the example in
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.
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
Zyxel Device 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 Zyxel Device exit sub command mode.
Note: "exit" or "!" must follow sub commands if it is to make the Zyxel Device exit sub
command mode.

Shell Scripts (.zysh)
• Goes into CLI Privilege mode.
• Runs the commands in the shell script.
