19.1 Overview
Configuration files define the Zyxel Device's settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can
store on the Zyxel Device and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell
script without the Zyxel Device restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files
on the Zyxel Device. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to
the Zyxel Device. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.

The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the Zyxel Device uses the factory default settings for any features
that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the Zyxel Device only applies the
commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI commands manually. An
example is shown below.
