Modifying Settings of a Virtual Device

Description

This command lets you modify settings of an existing Virtual Device Logical object that emulates the functionality of a type of physical network object. Virtual Device can be on of these: Virtual Router, Virtual System, or Virtual Switch. object:

Virtual System Virtual Device on a VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member that implements the functionality of a Security Gateway. Acronym: VS.
Virtual System in Bridge Mode Security Gateway or Virtual System that works as a Layer 2 bridge device for easy deployment in an existing topology.
Virtual Switch Virtual Device on a VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member that functions as a physical switch. Acronym: VSW.
Virtual Router Virtual Device on a VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member that functions as a physical router. Acronym: VR.

Syntax

set vd name <Device Object Name> [vs_mtu <MTU>] [instances <Number of IPv4 CoreXL Firewall instances>] [instances6 <Number of IPv6 CoreXL Firewall instances>] [main_ip <Main IPv4 Address>] [main_ip6 <Main IPv6 Address>] [calc_topo_auto {true|false}]

Parameters

Parameter	Value	Notes
`name <Device Object Name>`	Object name	Specifies the name of the Virtual Device object. Mandatory parameter, if this is the first command in a transaction.
`vs_mtu <MTU>`	Integer	Specifies the Global MTU value for all interfaces. Applicable only for: Virtual System in Bridge Mode Virtual Switch Default is 1500 bytes.
`instances <Number of IPv4 CoreXL Firewall instances>`	Integer	Specifies the number of IPv4 CoreXL Performance-enhancing technology for Security Gateways on multi-core processing platforms. Multiple Check Point Firewall instances are running in parallel on multiple CPU cores. Firewall instances. Applicable only for: Virtual System Virtual System in Bridge Mode Default is 1. For more information about CoreXL, see R80.20SP Quantum Scalable Chassis Performance Tuning Administration Guide.
`instances6 <Number of IPv6 CoreXL Firewall instances>`	Integer	Specifies the number of IPv6 CoreXL Firewall instances. Applicable only for: Virtual System Virtual System in Bridge Mode Default is 1. For more information about CoreXL, see R80.20SP Quantum Scalable Chassis Performance Tuning Administration Guide.
`main_ip <Main IPv4 Address>`	IPv4 Address	Specifies the main IPv4 Address of the Virtual Device object. Applicable only for: Virtual System Virtual Router Note - To remove the current IPv4 address, set the value to `empty`. For example: `set vd name VS1 main_ip empty`
`main_ip6 <Main IPv6 Address>`	IPv6 Address	Specifies the main IPv6 Address of the Virtual Device object. Applicable only for: Virtual System Virtual Router Note - To remove the current IPv6 address, set the value to `empty`. For example: `set vd name VS1 main_ip6 empty`
`calc_topo_auto`	`true` `false`	Specifies how to calculate topology based on routes: `true` - Automatically calculate topology based on routes (default) `false` - Does not calculate topology based on routes Applicable only for: Virtual System Virtual Router

Example

vsx_provisioning_tool -s localhost -u admin -p mypassword -o set vd name VS1 instances 8 main_ip 192.0.2.6 calc_topo_auto false
