Zyxel WAC6503D-S [168/238] Comments in configuration files or shell scripts

Chapter 14 File Manager

NWA5000 / WAC6000 Series User’s Guide

168

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 NWA/WAC 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 NWA/WAC 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/WAC exit sub command mode.

Note: “exit” or “!'” must follow sub commands if it is to make the NWA/WAC exit sub

command mode.

In the following example lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 7 exits sub command mode.
