17.1 Overview

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

17.1.2 What you Need to Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the device uses the factory default settings for any features
that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the 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
# enter configuration mode
configure terminal
# change administrator password
username admin password 4321 user-type admin
#configure default radio profile, change 2GHz channel to 11 & Tx output power # to
50%
wlan-radio-profile default
2g-channel 11
output-power 50%
exit
