Command Line Interface Overview

This chapter briefly introduces the command line interface and lists the available commands.

See the Support CD for detailed information on using commands.

In addition to the web configurator, you can use commands to configure the ZyWALL.

It is recommended that you use the web configurator for

everyday management of the ZyWALL and that only qualified
engineers use commands for advanced switch diagnosis and
troubleshooting.

However, if you have problems with your ZyWALL, customer support may request that you issue
some of these commands to assist them in troubleshooting.

Telnet to you ZyWALL or connect a computer to the console port and use terminal emulation software
configured to the following parameters:

VT100 terminal emulation

9600 bps

No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

No flow control
