ZyXEL Communications NWA1000 Series - Configuration File

Chapter 17 File Manager
NWA1000 Series User’s Guide
171
While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the NWA1000 Series applies
configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
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
NWA1000 Series 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 NWA1000 Series exit sub command mode.
Note: “exit” or “!'” must follow sub commands if it is to make the NWA1000 Series exit sub
command mode.
In the following example lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 7 exits sub command mode.
Errors in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the NWA1000 Series processes the file line-by-
line. The NWA1000 Series checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it
continues with the next line. If the NWA1000 Series 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 NWA1000 Series ignores any errors in the configuration file
or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The NWA1000 Series still generates a log for any
errors.
