ZyXEL Communications UAG4100 - Comments in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts

Chapter 42 File Manager
UAG4100 User’s Guide
419
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 UAG applies configuration files
differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
You have to run the example in Figure 289 on page 419 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 UAG 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 UAG exit sub command mode.
Note: “exit” or “!'” must follow sub commands if it is to make the UAG exit sub command
mode.
