'sim' and 'sim6'

Description

The sim command controls the SecureXL device (infrastructure) for IPv4 traffic while a Security Group is running.

The sim6 command controls the SecureXL device (infrastructure) for IPv6 traffic while a Security Group is running.

Important:

The same SecureXL command must run on all Security Group Members.

Therefore, you must run the SecureXL commands in either Gaia gClish, or Expert mode.

  • In Gaia gClish, run the "sim ..." and "sim6 ..." commands.

  • In the Expert mode, run the "g_sim ..." and "g_sim6 ..." commands.
