Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the ZyWALL and run when

you need them. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL only applies the commands

that it contains. Other settings do not change.

You can edit shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the ZyWALL USG

through GUI menu File manager > Shell Script tab. Some notes as followings.

 Must follow ZyWALL USG CLI syntax

 Must add “configure terminal” at the beginning of the script file.

 Must save as a “.zysh ” file extension.
