To configure the file name of the system log:

set syslog filename <file>

To show the system logging settings:

show syslog all
            filename

  • all
 
<file>

System log file name.

 

Example

 
add syslog log-remote-address 192.0.2.1 level all
set syslog filename system_logs
show syslog filename

Comments

There are some command options and parameters that you cannot do using the WebUI.

Configuring Log Volume - CLI (volume)

0n condition that there is enough available disk space, you can enlarge the log partition.

Note - Disk space is added to the log volume by subtracting it from the space used to store backup images.

 

To show log partition usage, run:

Syntax:

 
show volume logs

Output:

 
Logical volume (logs) size:3.00GB, free:2.82GB
Free space for future backup images: 15.84GB

To enlarge the log partition, run:

Syntax:

set volume VALUE size VALUE

Example:

set volume logs size 4

Output:

Prior to adding new storage to the file system, it is recommended to backup the system.

Note that during the process, all Check Point products will be shutdown.

Are you sure you want to continue?(Y/N)[N]

y

This operation may take several minutes...

Comments
  • The new size for the logical volume is set in GB. In the above example, the volume will be resized from 3GB to 4GB.
  • The new size must be a whole number.
  • If the size of the new volume subtracts too much space from the space used to store backup images, this message shows: "The logical volume new size is out of range, should be smaller than <number> GB."

    The system always reserves 6GB for backup images. This 6GB cannot be used to increase log volume. If necessary, enter a smaller number.

  • The volume will be resized after the system reboots.

Network Access

Telnet is not recommended for remote login because it is not secure. SSH, for example, provides much of the functionality of Telnet with good security. Network access to Gaia using Telnet is disabled by default. However, you can allow Telnet access.

Configuring Telnet Access - WebUI

  1. In the tree view, click System Management > Network Access.
  2. Select Enable Telnet.
  3. Click Apply.

Configuring Telnet Access - CLI (net-access)

Description

Allow or disallow network access using Telnet to the Gaia computer

Syntax

To allow or disallow Telnet access:

set net-access telnet on
set net-access telnet off
 

To show if Telnet access is allowed or disallowed:

show net-access telnet
 


Configuring the WebUI Web server


You can configure the server responsible for the Gaia WebUI using the web feature. The web feature consists of these commands:


Enabling the web daemon


Use this command to enable the web daemon:






Syntax



set web daemon-enable on | off







 







Parameter 



Description







daemon-enable VALUE



on or off









 








Setting a web-session timeout


Use this command to define the time (in minutes) after which the HTTP session terminates. 






Syntax



set web session-timeout VALUE







 







Parameter



Description







session-timeout VALUE



The value entered here defines the amount of time after which the web server will terminate a HTTP session with the WebUI.


Range: Integers between 1 and 1440 inclusive.


Default: 20









 








Setting an SSL port


Use this command to define a port for SSL






Description



Specifies the port number on which the WebUI can be accessed when using SSL-secured connections







Syntax



set web ssl-port VALUE







Parameters







Parameter 



Description







ssl-port VALUE



Integers between 1 and 65535 inclusive. 


Default: "443".









 







Comments



Use this command for initial configuration only. Changing the port number on the command line may cause inconsistency with the setting defined in SmartDashboard.  Use SmartDashboard to set the SSL port.


Note: This setting does not affect non-SSL connections.  Normally this should be left at 443. If you change the port number you will have to change the URL used to access the WebUI: from https://hostname/ to https://hostname:PORTNUMBER/
