Configuration File - ZyXEL Communications NWA5301-NJ User Manual

Chapter 14 File Manager
While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the NWA applies configuration files
differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
Table 70 Configuration Files and Shell Scripts in the NWA
Configuration Files (.conf)
• Resets to default configuration.
• Goes into CLI Configuration mode.
• Runs the commands in the configuration file.
You have to run the aforementioned example 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.
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 NWA 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 NWA exit sub command mode.
Note: "exit" or "!'" must follow sub commands if it is to make the NWA exit sub command
mode.
In the following example lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 5 exits sub command mode.

Errors in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the NWA processes the file line-by-line.
The NWA checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it continues with
the next line. If the NWA finds an error, it stops applying the configuration file or shell script and
generates a log.
You can change the way a configuration file or shell script is applied. Include setenv stop-on-
error off in the configuration file or shell script. The NWA ignores any errors in the configuration
file or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The NWA still generates a log for any
errors.
